Author
Harold Flagg's of Fort Lauderdale FL, a traveller and sometimes tourism consultant, recently has had his
second book published through
Xlibris, a self publishing divison of
Randon House Inc.
A military auto-biography,
GI Odyssey: World War II Memoir/Novella is a highly enjoyable tour de force about a teenager’s coming-of-age during World War II.
Harry “Harold Flagg” Bandera writes his story in third person and uses mental time travel to depict life on an Ohio farm, sightseeing in Paris, skiing in Switzerland, meeting English cousins by the dozens, earning a university degree, and surviving $90,000 worth of cancer treatments—all on Uncle Sam’s tab.
Come, crawl between the sheets, and read how it all went down.
Here are
exceprts from the book.
Though Flagg has all but recovered from his recent bout with cancer, last spring, in observance of the
Silver Anniversary of Conch Republic Independence Day Celebration, he joined many for a National Endowment of the Arts bus ride from Fort Lauderdale to Key West for a lunch, lecture and tour of the
Ernest Hemingway Home & Museum.
Flagg's writing style is similar that of Hemingway.
When communicating with Flagg, by email, seldom does he not speak of and reminisce about Paris. A city and country that he 'longs for' ... and soon hopes to revisit.
