“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.

Church’s Hope for the World

As the 20th Century began and hopes surfaced for a new and optimistic age, Winston Churchill in 1901 made the following comments hoping that they would come true:

“Europe is now groaning beneath the weight of armies. There is scarcely an important government whose finances are not embarrassed; there is not a Parliament of people from whom the cry of weariness has not been wrung.

“What a pity it woul

“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

“Honor makes no difference in war. A bullet reaches its target whether one has honor or not”
Kent Hinckley, Second Chance Against the Third Reich

“War can kidnap one's soul”
