A Real Good War by Sam Halpert
'Gritty, funny and rich with authenticity.' - Robert Olen Butler 'Sam Halpert shines his light on a well-worn subject and gives us material glowing with stoic humour and a crusty humanity. A unique and moving book' - Susan Minot Engrossing...evokes the fine line between a close call and a tragedy, not to mention the way guilt is detonated by war's deadly absurdity' - New York Times.
Born in 1920 in New York, Halpert served as a navigator on B-17 bombers, flying 35 missions over Nazi Germany. After college, he worked as a teacher and typographer until retiring to Florida in 1982.
