"A unique tale of aerial combat, the horrors of the stalags, and
love against the backdrop of WWII."
Gerald Astor, author of The Greatest War

"The narrator shouts the confused outbursts of the crew as their burning, disintegrating
B-17 plummets to earth, still taking German fire. Patrick Lawlor brings the author's
comrades to life as if he had been there. Lawlor's scratchy, young voice recounts
LaMore's experiences as a downed Texas WWII pilot.a powerful story."

Escaping certain deathnot once but several timeslies at the core of this riveting, real-life
story of an American soldier during World War II.

Tommy LaMore tells what it was like to be among the first airmen in the B-17s in long missions
over enemy territory. He tells of the relationships formed, with fellow crewmen, Resistance
fighters, prisoners, a young and pretty survivor of a women's camp, and, surprisingly, with a
bigger-than-life Russian officer with a heart set on revenge. There are fascinating descriptions
of the bloodthirsty Mongols who accompanied the Russians and who struck fear into the hearts
of even the most hardened German SS men. Balancing the tales of despair and loneliness are
brilliant scenes of Paris overflowing with flowers, food, love, and exuberance in the first weeks
after the war.

One Man's War vividly details this man's experiences in war-ravaged Europe, from the
horrific to the romantic and beyond.

Tommy LaMore (1920-1997) grew up in Waco, Texas, before enlisting in the U. S. Army Air Corps in 1940. Dan A. Baker is a writer living in Pacifica, California, with interests in history, ideology, and American culture.
