In 1918, twenty-three-year-old Bennie Potts was drafted into the US Army to fight in the World War. He served with the American Expeditionary Force in France. At home after the war, he married and raised a family, and the war for his children and grandchildren became the anecdotes he told them.
A century later, a great grandson brings together his ancestor's war stories and the historical record to follow Private Benjamin Franklin Potts from Tennessee to the Great War in France and back home again.
"A poignant, stirring, and ultimately remarkable account, interspersed with personal anecdotes and a keen sense of empathy-a unique, triumphant work."-LTC Kevin Ikenberry, USA, Ret., author of The Protocol War series
