EARNED IN BLOOD

"A dramatic and compelling story, one every American should read and ponder.”

 

―Homer Hickam, author Rocket Boys and October Sky

A gripping first-hand account of the author's service in the Marine Corps in some of the most horrific fighting of World War 2, the Appalachian boyhood that preceded it, and the war's cruel aftereffects - the delayed onset of malaria and PTSD and the prospect of managing those while raising a family and working in the grueling conditions of the underground coal mines of the 1940's through the 1970's.

 

 "His heart-searing story reminds us that a grateful nation is never grateful enough.” ―George Ella Lyon
