This book is dedicated to the "Greatest Generation." Those individuals who came of age after WWI, enduring the stock market crash of 1929 which wiped out millions of dollars of their savings, a collapsing economy which led to the great depression and massive unemployment. Despite those hardships, these individuals stood tall, rallying to their countries call both at home and on foreign soil. They took up arms in defense of democracy and beat back tyranny. Today, because of their sacrifices and courage they have become known as the greatest generation. This book is about that generation’s sacrifices in defense of our democracy as seen through the eyes of eighteen-year-old Robert Philip Kingsbury, a World War II rifleman in General Patton’s army, who was literally at the tip of the spear in that fight for democracy.

Born in a remote logging camp in the Adin Mountains of northern California, with the backdrop of Modoc's bloody history, Bob grew up hunting, fishing, and roaming the rugged Modoc wilderness. For those interested in Indian wars, the one in Northern California's Modoc County, was the only one in which a U.S. Army General was killed and the only Indian chief hanged. This story can be found in the book Child of The Devil's Garden. Bob's "Damn the torpedoes, full speed ahead" philosophy races him through life at an exhausting pace, and he is at his best when driving his Jaguar at top speed across a Southwestern desert, racing a stagecoach down a dusty street in Colorado, or fighting a raging storm in his sailboat off the coast of New England. Bob and his beautiful wife Susan are both retired and living in rural New England after Bob's three terms in the New Hampshire House of Representatives, and Susan's sixteen years of teaching foreign languages. As soulmates, they write books and create gourmet meals together, still holding tight to their traditional Friday night margarita parties they started so long ago on their sailboat. And yes, Bob still believes it is ok to run with scissors, while Susan struggles to keep him from falling.
