ALL-Ways the Rebel: Escape into Two World Wars - Softcover
Pete was the most unforgettable character you could ever meet. That is, if a con man and a thief can be lovable. He served in both World Wars, first in the U.S. Navy as a chief yeoman aboard an impounded German cruise liner converted for troop transport to France, then in the U.S. Army in India. Pete was always a rebel. Sing-Sing prison was his home between the two wars, because he connived, contrived or conned his way to a life of short-lived successes with other people’s money. These are tales of escape from reality and moral responsibility, told with lighthearted humor and many military chuckles. It is a work of imagination and fiction, liberally sprinkled with applicable time-lines of the two wars. History buffs will appreciate the parallels with Prohibition and the Great Depression. Enjoy the romance of the “Roaring Twenties” as they come alive again.
