War will always be a terrible tragedy no matter how much civilization, politics and values have changed. There is nothing glorious about it and in the end it takes away people’s lives, it ravages the world and ultimately becomes a meaningless event. These are the lessons that authors Hnery F. Shemmer and Lynn Shemmer wish to share with their readers in Through My Father’s Eyes: January 15, 1944-December 11, 1945.
This book takes a close look at the men and women who were inspired by the events of World War II to serve their country with valor. These everyday people became heroes under extraordinary circumstances and gave new meaning to the ideals of character and strong values. This diary was written by one of these ordinary people who was called to duty and answered the call with his heart and soul. Henry Shemmer was a small town boy from Coraopolis, Pennsylvania and this is his story aboard the U.S.S. Madison during WWII. Readers will be astounded by the authors’ detailed account of many events, military history and most of all the horrors of war.
Through My Father’s Eyes is a highly-informative and deeply touching look back at the war that ravaged the world and its people, with a special focus on the heroes who fought so hard and sacrificed a lot to free the world from tyranny. |
