Description
A previously unpublished wartime memoir from acclaimed author William Wharton. For the first time, readers can experience the events that influenced some of his greatest novels, including Birdy and A Midnight Clear. Wharton's account of his experiences during World War II is an unforgettable true story. Written under a pseudonym, he rarely gave interviews, so fans and critics could only speculate about the extent to which his work was autobiographical. Now, in this memoir, Wharton shares the tales he never wanted to tell his children. This book offers a unique insight into one of America's greatest writers, shedding light on the experiences that shaped his writing.
