Book Reviews and Quotes

• Once again, 'a member of the Greatest Generation' has revealed, thru personal recollections and diary notes written at the time, the true grit of the men and women who served our country at a time of it's greatest need. Mr. Duvic's accounts place you along side of him and his fellow Soldiers. His character, integrity and compassion are evident. He confirms the moniker, 'a member of the Greatest Generation'. This is a must read, can't put down, book for those interested in the stories of our WWII Heroes. - MG Hunt Downer, Assistant Adjutant General, Louisiana National Guard
• I thoroughly enjoyed it...recalling a number of memories of my own military service in the process... a big 'thumbs up' from me for a job well done. - David A. Clark Col. US Marine Corps Ret'd.
• Whether off duty shenanigans or the stark realities of combat, the authors provide a candid narrative about Duvic's service as a B-26 Marauder pilot during the Second World War. Their style is conversational and vivid. By the end of the book, you come to know Vic, Max, Weaver and Mildred as they live, love and fight during the Second World War. - Chad Daniels, Director Mississippi Armed Forces Museum
• A wonderful book that's full of hard facts about air raids and shrapnel and bombs and the horrors of war, laced with some hugely comic stories of military life. - Ann Waldron, Author of Eudora: A Writer's Life
• The work and time the authors put into this book is a testament to their love of country and love of history. In reading Maurice 'Vic' Duvic's memoirs, one can only appreciate the dedication and danger that our airmen, soldiers and sailors had to deal with during WWII. As a WWII enthusiast, I was in awe of the detail the authors put in this book. It shows that the simple task of keeping a record of your memories of a time of great peril in our nation's history, as Duvic did, is a simple way to share history with all that are so appreciative of what our young men had to endure. - Jeffery M. Duplessis, FOX 40 News, Jackson, MS
