He gives the readers his persuasive insight by bringing to them a semi-autobiographical story and a thoughtful recollection of his experiences in life where we can draw lessons and renewed perspective. With the turn of the pages, readers will see a glimpse of his growing years, his religious and political beliefs, and he gives a riveting account about his five years of WWII experience. From his life experiences and observations, he gives historical examples that altered the course of history such as the assassinations of President John Kennedy, Dr. Martin Luther King, and Senator Robert Kennedy. He also shares an extensive and comprehensive review of the causes and solutions of war, and with this review he offers the readers a unique and informative approach to this age-old and significant problem and the hope that seed of the efforts to pursue peace will grow and culminate into a global and peaceful society someday.
