Title: ``Lasting Valor'' an amazing story, told with amazing skill
Review: ``Lasting Valor'' is not only a superb war story, it is a superb life story. With this book, Vernon Baker and Ken Olsen have handed us a piece of history many of us never knew existed - and they have done so with captivating skill. A tightly told story, ``Lasting Valor'' doesn't bog down with the minutiae of war, but instead gives us a closer look at and a better understanding of the human drama that was World War II and its aftermath. From his life growing up in Wyoming to his time spent in Italy and his years in North Idaho, Vernon Baker allows us to see him as a human being and not just a war hero. He also gives us a vivid and honest tour through America's horrendous history of bigotry. It's a refreshing perspective and one we're all better for receiving.
