Although a work of fiction the first novel was inspired by the life of Ollie Stewart (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ollie_Stewart), the first black journalist to cover the European Campaign during World War II. The novel includes appearances of many journalists who covered the African and European campaigns. Political figures are blended as background into the book's merging plots. The subsequent books, A Private War II and Tatiana's War are post-war stories that diverge into political satire, comedy, irony that explores post traumatic stress syndrome and exploits the current political scene being set during a prior historical setting. A subtle underlying concept in the book that emerges full bloom in Tatiana's War explores the hidden meaning of the "law of attraction" and whether that concept is real or just a mind trick being perpetrated on the universe that is incompatible with biblical teachings.
