After a hardscrabble 1930s youth in Texas, Tommy Lamore manages to make his way into the American air force fighting the Third Reich. After crash landing in France, he winds up with the Resistance before being betrayed and shipped off to a terrible concentration camp. His narrative of survival is frank and compelling, almost cinematic. It's hard to fathom the eventful lives so many men experienced in the 1940s.
Lamore is personable and does of good job of relating the conflicting emotions and motivations of a man in extreme circumstances. The events are not sanitized; the sources of his PTSD, evident even before he returns stateside, are clear. This is a good read (or rather, a good listen).
