Bøger i World War II: The Global, Human, and Ethical Dimension serien

"A marvelous story... will be consulted as long as World War II and the Spanish Civil War are studied... Cane is a very good writer." Frank F. Mathias, author of The GI Generation: A Memoir

Drawing on his correspondence and on oral histories and interviews with Korf, the author paints a portrait of a man forced to flee Nazi Germany because the Nuremburg Laws had relegated him to the status of "second-degree mixed breed" as Korf had one Jewish grandparent.

Offers a portrait of home front Ohio, and how a young boy, his sister, and his mother waited out their war, scanning newspapers and magazines for news of Dad and devouring letters full of humor and expressions of love for and pride in his family and dreams of a good life after the war.

Over the course of five years, the Reserve Officers Association of the United States - the nation's oldest such professional military organization - invited its members to write about their experiences in World War II. This title deals with this topic.
