Close to Death, Across Hitler's Path - and Home at Last

Somehow, Capt. Robert A. Maynard survived the intense fighting as his tank destroyer unit rolled across Europe to the ruins of Hitler's hideaway.

Autor

Robert Maynard was a captain in a U.S. Army Tank Destroyer battalion helping to push Adolf Hitler's military back along the Western Front. Maynard would come home with stark memories of times and places where survival was too-often determined by the simple winds of fortune. But those memories would remain locked inside for half a century. Like many in his generation, he would try to set aside his war experiences and get on with raising his family. Finally, near the end of the 20th Century, he compiled this volume, which his children have now chosen to share. A Father's Arms was his effort, 53 years after the end of World War II, to help his children understand what happened to America - and to him - in the journey from Pearl Harbor to "Victory in Europe."
