title: Venus Rising: A Memoir
author:  Harry William Deal 
description: A vividly remembered memoir, Venus Rising sneaks up on you with its simple approach, then delivers an emotional wallop. Harry Deal tells his story honestly, passionately, and with a disarming sense of humor. It s a highly personal peek at one man s contribution to the Greatest Generation. --Arianna Huffington<br /><br />Venus Rising is a very enjoyable, honest and genuine, nostalgic journey through the 1940s and the war in the Pacific. It is a timely, vivid, and powerful reminder of the deep tragedies, the immense sufferings, and the ghastly cost of war. --Terry Sanders<br /><br />I loved reading this book. A terrific storyteller. I laughed often and was terrified for him often, sometimes at the same time. Dozens of the stories he tells are priceless. Like the time he s getting his wisdom tooth pulled as a kamikaze dive-bombs the ship! --Daniel Voll
