Writer and daughter of a WWII veteran, Cherie Horrigan-Happy, honors her father with this powerful and amazing account. Written in first-person narration, the reader is drawn into the world of Kenneth Horrigan, a man who was captured by the enemy when he was 19 years old. Horrigan recounts his experiences of being interrogated relentlessly by the Germans; suffering unimaginable emotional and physical distress; solitary confinement; and the sights, sounds and smells of war that no soldier will ever forget. Upon his return home, Horrigan was rejected by the Veterans Administration and was denied benefits. This powerful book chronicles the life of a young soldier and his experience as a POW, not only the suffering he endured, but the ways in which he knew it affected his loved ones. It contains never-before-published historical documents that give proof, honor and respect to this American soldier and how he served his country.
