Alfred: The Quiet History of a World War II Infantryman

Louise Endres Moore

4.9/5 (23507 ratings)

Description:We almost didn’t know. For 57 years, Alfred Endres told his family he had been a barber, chauffeur, and translator in World War II. But following the death of his wife, Alfred quietly started sharing a glimpse into his actual wartime experiences. His daughter first began capturing those fractions of stories on napkins during her weekly nursing home visits, which grew into a nearly two-decade deep dive into his true role in the war—a reluctant front-line machine gunner in Europe from 1944 to 1945. Intensely researched and thoroughly human, Alfred compiles a lifetime panorama of one infantryman who never wanted a part in the war but accepted it. He returned home, discernibly the gentle Wisconsin farmer he was when he left, to a family unknowing what he had done and what he had survived. #1 Best Seller in Biographies of the Army (Amazon)Book Excellence Award Winner in BiographyEric Hoffer Award Category FinalistIAN Book of the year Awards Finalist5-Star Review for Readers' Favorite Awards.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
