Title: Amazing Stories!
Review: As with Erik Dyreborg's previous book,The Lucky Ones,The Young Ones focuses on the experiences of U.S. airmen during World War II. In most cases the detailed accounts are told by the airmen themselves; others have been submitted by family members, committed to seeing these stories shared. Each chapter contains a different account. Some are extremely painful to read. They relay horrific events far beyond my comprehension (occasionally "haunting" the individuals involved for years). Many accounts include positive, and even humorous perspectives, adding an often appreciated and refreshing balance. In all cases, they are sensitively written accounts that increase my respect for and appreciation toward all who serve in our Armed Forces. I would highly recommend this book to anyone who is interested in the complexities of war, intrigued by human behavior amidst adversity, and inspired by the human spirit.
