An enthralling, powerful story reviewer's say everyone should read. Emotional at times.Art knows how difficult life can be. He leaves school and starts work at age eleven, proud to be able to help his family. When the Second World War war looms he and his friends enlist. He becomes a paratrooper, but is captured after one disastrous mission. His life after WW2 is hard and you'll discover the complexities involved inside his family life. A moving read. His experiences as a POW shape the person he will become. He tries to survive the harrowing conditions, then attempts an escape.Home from the war, Art dabbles in several jobs to support his wife and children, and is successful at everything he tries. But internally he is lost, struggling to beat Post Traumatic Stress Disorder at a time when the condition is largely unsupported. While his working life improves, his family life is in crisis, as he battles his demons.Told over several decades, this tale of one family's life encapsulates the period in compelling detail, including the difficulties faced by many returned soldiers, both then and now. The author pays tribute to all who have experienced war and to all families and friends who experience the effects of their personal War and Peace.
