Many warriors who saw the worst of World War II came home to resume a quiet, peaceful life. Alfred [Endres] was one of those who tried to leave the horrors behind, and as a result, left his family and friends with little knowledge of what he had seen and done. From occasional cracks in his armor, his daughter pieced together the amazing history of a common man who suffered, endured, and survived to say--in his own way--war is a terrible thing. Weeping in reverence and gratitude, you'll be touched by the simple statements of true heroism. --Col. Roger T. Aeschliman, 35th Division (Retired) Interviews, massive amounts of research, and in-depth sleuthing give this book its authority. It interweaves the chronological history of Alfred's service with testimonies of others fighting alongside him. The book unfolds with a daughter's love for her father, her discovery of his hidden story, and the attempt to delicately draw it out before the opportunity has passed. --Kurt Meyer, guest columnist for the Wisconsin State Journal This meticulously researched and beautifully written account of Alfred's war is also the war of many others. Like him, quiet and selfless soldiers throughout time have been willing to sacrifice everything for what is right and good. A priceless reminder of what real patriotism looks like. --Sara Rosenberry, US Embassy in Luxembourg, Foreign Service (Retired)
