Synopsis
Before he became one of America's most respected statesmen, Bob Dole was an average citizen serving heroically for his country. The bravery he showed after suffering near-fatal injuries in the final days of World War II is the stuff of legend. Now, for the first time in his own words, Dole tells the moving story of his harrowing experience on and off the battlefield, and how it changed his life.Speaking here not as a politician but as a wounded G.I., Dole recounts his own odyssey of courage and sacrifice, and also honors the fighting spirit of the countless heroes with whom he served. Heartfelt and inspiring, One Soldier's Story is the World War II chronicle that America has been waiting for.

I have read 100's of books, I promise. NEVER have I read a book that has me so attentive on PAGE 1!! By page two...really a moving and devastating scene. Yes, I have met Bob Dole for but 15 minutes. He is NOT a politician whatsoever in this genuine book, but a real live person.he is sodevoted to helping his great parents, family,fellow soldiers, not to mention his GREAT COUNTRY. You will truly appreciate this, and I know this will be a "KEEPER" for you, but prerhaps you will desire to share this as a fabulous gift for a caring friend. (After YOU have read it, MOST definitely!~!) JIM of MACHIAS, MAINE USAF
