Barry Singer grew up in the Bronx, N.Y., U.S.A.  He has studied economics and military history, and served in the U.S. Army in Heidelberg, Germany in the mid-1960s.  He currently lives in Princeton, New Jersey, U.S.A. and Coconut Creek, Florida.  In Princeton, N.J., he lectures on the American Revolutionary War, and leads tours of this intriguing historic town.

Readers’ Comments: “Very well written story.” “I’m the same age. I didn’t go into the service and always wondered what it would be like.” “It reminded me of my own experience traveling away from home and returning grown up.” “The cover made me want to read it.”

“For anyone who came of age in the socially turbulent 1960s during the Vietnam War.” “For anyone who grew up in the Bronx” “For anyone who served in the armed forces in Europe after WWII and experienced the Cold War and the Iron Curtain.”
