Pride And Joy

Pride and Joy is not just another memoir. It is a compelling story of survival, skillfully blended with historical fact to produce an account of remarkable depth and richness. The author probes deeply into his memory and introduces us to that unlikely phase of World War Two known as the “Phony War.” He describes how it was brought to an abrupt end with Hitler’s invasion of the continent and the “Blitz” on London, England. A tour of duty in Africa, a riveting description of the preparation for ‘D-Day’ and that memorable day itself follows. But it is the aftermath of war, the adjustment to civilian life and a moving account of what the rest of life had in store that makes this book such a fascinating read.
