“Second Chance against the Third Reich” – my next book – deals with a U.S. Army colonel in WW2 who suffers from PTSD acquired in WW1 and how he overcomes it while trying to save his estranged daughter. I love the psychological aspects of war and action stories that include lots of twists. I’m a lover of history, non-fiction and fiction, and enjoy how underdogs overcome super odds to succeed. I’ve served in Vietnam in Intelligence, so I have some experience with the military, but WW2 is so different from modern day conflicts. I love the depth of the strategies to defeat the enemies as well as the focus on taking specific targets. Those men and women definitely belong to the Greatest Generation.

Quotes by Kent Hinckley (?)

“Hoffman would receive a demotion to Major subject to army approval and immediate repatriation the the United States for further assignment. His military career, while not over, had ended. One drunken outburst erased his previous achievements, but thoughts about his disgrace went to Kaye, and the shame his behaviour put on his family”
― Kent Hinckley, Second Chance Against the Third Reich
