Opis

Deadly Decision by Rick Centore brings a rare and revealing personal voice to the telling of an extraordinary World War II combat tale. Based on the wartime experiences of Technical Sergeant Nello Centore of the 856th Bomb Squadron, author Centore recounts the compelling events leading to a fateful day in June 1944 when disaster strikes Crew 601, and Sergeant Centore's world is changed forever. Those ensuing days under German lock-and-key in a prisoner-of-war camp are recounted with a visceral memory in the form of Nello Centore's personal journal entries. The author then embellishes and amplifies the first-person account through commentary that sets the historical, political, and personal context for each entry; and this is what sets this war story apart from so many others. Author Centore reveals a powerful understanding and appreciation for his father's experiences, and thus gives the reader a rare insight into the minds, hearts, and souls of the men of Crew 601.
