4.0 out of 5 stars My Father Was A Hero, 21 Oct 2004
By A Customer
My Father Was A Hero is more than a war story, though the exploits of the little people that together make a nation's history are not always as entertaining as the memories shared in this book. Its real strength, however, is as a study of family. Written with the intimacy of a letter, this book is touching, sometimes funny and is always unabashedly emotional and affectionate. Its characters have their own stories. But the power of this book is that, but for the details, they could be anyone's. Through war, homecoming and the effect of secrets and half-truths passed from generation to generation, it reminds a reader how little we really know of the people we love the most. I read it in a night and thought about it for many more after.
