Overview

"To Elias Gunnarson, his dad, Teddy, was part of ""the greatest generation,"" a man who fought valiantly in World War II, was honorably discharged, married his high school sweetheart, and lived happily ever after. Right? Wrong! The truth, he finds, lies shrouded in an intricately complex web baring only superficial resemblance to the terrible reality lived by those who battled from the sands of Omaha Beach to the horrors of Dachau. As letters, videos, stories, and memories unfold the true tale of Teddy's war, Elias learns that the lives of his mother, his father, and his father's brother, Jake, were not what they seemed, and that dying a hero does not absolve a person from the sins of his past."

Author Information

Don Willerton grew up in a small town in Texas, surrounded by hundreds of square miles of open country, and the desire to wander has never left him. A successful career as a computer programmer and project manager at Los Alamos National Laboratory gave him the money and vacation time to learn how to build houses, backpack in the Rocky Mountains high country, climb mountains, snowshoe and cross-country ski, raft the rivers of the Southwest, support Christian wilderness programs, and see the excitement in his sons' eyes as they enjoyed the adventures with him.
