I authored 2 books this summer! They are both available on Amazon in paperback and kindle format. Go easy on me, it's my first try! If you're a Great War buff, these are for you! Thanks, now go buy my books! 📚😊

Read this one a couple of years ago. Excellent book. The last chapter still haunts me.
Happy reading!

This book has been on my wishlist for a few months. Have heard nothing but good things about it. Time to move it to my shopping cart I guess.
