Raider: By Charles W. Sasser
The true story of the legendary soldier who performed more POW raids than any other American in history. He went into battle as a boy. And on one of the most daring missions of World War II, he became a man-- and the perfect soldier for America's next wars... Galen Charles Kittleson was slight, modest, and born to wage war. The son of an Iowa farmer, Kittleson volunteered in 1943 and caught the eye of his commanders. By 1945, PFC Kittleson was selected for the Army's smallest elite unit, the Alamo Scouts. While U.S. forces were pushing back the Japanese in the Pacific, the Alamo scouts unleashed legendary raids deep behind enemy lines, including the liberation of over 500 starved, beaten prisoners of the Bataan Death March in the Philippines. For Kittleson, a career as a raider had just begun... Charles W. Sasser chronicles the remarkable journey that was Kit Kittleson's courageous life in the service of his country. Now a veteran after first going to war as a boy twenty-five years ago, Kittleson volunteered for one last mission-- the most extraordinary and daring POW raid ever attempted by secret American Special Forces in Vietnam...

WWII - A Legacy of Letters: By Clinton Frederick
In 2002, upon returning to his grandparents' house for a family wedding, Clinton Frederick made a remarkable discovery-a trunk filled with letters written by his father, Capt. George F. Frederick. Through these letters, Clinton is able to piece together a picture not only of his father, but also of the key battles in the Pacific during WWII. The long-hidden correspondence helps him capture the human side of war (the aspirations, fears, terror, horror, grief, anger, sympathy, love and devotion) that his father experienced in battle, and the anxiety of his family waiting for his return from the South Pacific.
