Destination~Vienna (Paperback)

World War II was a great conflagration of unimaginable horror and destruction resulting in over seventy million killed, millions more displaced, families broken or destroyed, great cities and even whole countries left in ruins. This book will backdrop, from the end of World War I, or "The War to End All Wars" and the signing of the Treaty of Versailles on the eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month in 1918, the almost immediate series of events that led to World War II. We will chronicle these events as they relate to the life of one individual and his ultimate entanglement with the dynamics of a world engulfed in war. This book will retrace the mission of one solitary B-24 Liberator bomber crew on a single day in March 1945 when they met their "fate, somewhere among the clouds above." We will see the kindred spirit of complete strangers who were thrust into and subsequently banded together by untenable circumstance, to rise and act to cast off the yoke of evil.
