Honor My Father
Honor My Father is a true story of how college men came to the US Navy as reservists, instructed by the officers from Annapolis, and teamed together. It brings their many personal stories of interactions with my dad (Air Defense Commander), serving on two destroyers (USS Bancroft & USS Goodrich) with the naming of their actual crew members. My story honors these silent, humble heroes. Thirty Benson-class destroyers were built from 1938 to 1943 and were the most vulnerable in the sea, protecting the fleet. The officers and crews earned 174 Battle Star Citations, one Presidential Citation and two Navy Unit Commendations posthumously. The last section of my true story about Dad, Comedy of Adolescence; describes how as a new professor, working on his Ph.D. this writer entered his teenage years while the two of us moved from the city of Chicago to the small town of Athens, Ohio. After his war experiences, he experienced nothing like the big guns going off in his ear until the hard pounding drums from my new rock and roll band!

Armageddon
Den amerikanske officer Sean O’Sullivan får en høj militær post i Berlin lige efter anden verdenskrig. Han forelsker sig i en tysk pige og møder en række særprægede personer, der alle spiller en vigtig rolle i dramaet om Berlin. Det er beretningen om, hvordan Berlin bliver et brændpunkt mellem Øst og Vest, om den sovjetiske blokade og om det eventyrlige redningsforsøg, der blev kaldt "luftbroen til Berlin". "Armageddon" er et storværk om et besejret folk og kampen mellem demokrati og socialisme. Leon Uris (1924-2003) var en amerikansk forfatter, der skrev en lang række historiske romaner. Hans bøger opnåede stor popularitet og blev oversat til mange fremmedsprog. Flere af hans bøger er inspirerede af hans egne erfaringer som soldat i Europa under anden verdenskrig. Denne krig og en lang række andre krige og konflikter i det tyvende århundrede danner bagtæppe for flere af Leon Uris’ mest populære bøger.
