MY LIFE: From Normandy to Hockeytown

by Budd Lynch, Bob Duff (Editor)

As a young Major of the Essex Scottish Regiment in World War II, Budd Lynch lost his right arm and shoulder at the hands of an enemy rocket shortly following the D-Day Invasion at Normandy. Soon after the attack, he resumed his pre-war radio career and contributed to the BBC throughout the remainder of the war. But that was just the beginning of Lynch's hall of fame broadcasting career. After the war, Lynch joined the Detroit Red Wings as a broadcaster and continues to be a vital part of the historic hockey club today as the public address announcer at Joe Louis Arena. Lynch s autobiography chronicles a life as a soldier, broadcaster and humanitarian aid worker with War Amps. In Lynch's years with the Red Wings, he has arguably seen more of the team's ups and downs than anyone else. My Life: From Normandy to Hockeytown is packed with fascinating anecdotes and insider information from the man who saw it all.

An interesting life as told by the author himself in this autobiography. Some books you know weren't ghost written... and this is one of them. This is a good one to read if you are a longtime Detroit red Wings hockey fan.

I'm sending it to my father- who will really enjoy it. He has met and remembers Budd Lynch, the one-armed Wings play-by-play announcer.
