Tanker's Destiny

<p> In the scope of human history nothing stands out like warfare. One nation trying to impose it���s ideology political system or religious beliefs on another. General George Patton said ���next to war all other forms of human endeavor pale in insignificance.��� For those who have experienced war and survived it the experience seems to overshadow the other normal highlights of a well lived life. I have found this true in the life of my father and the many veterans I interviewed as I researched this book. A farm boy a painter a gas station attendant ordinary men transported to another continent and thrust into a life and death struggle for the cause of freedom.</p><br/><br/><p> In war the best and worst of man���s nature are exhibited. This is a story of the birth of faith and God���s protection set against the backdrop of World War II. You will follow one soldier���s odyssey from home in the Midwest to the end of the war on the Elbe River in Germany. You will experience war from a Sherman tanker���s perspective facing the seasoned Panzer division of Hitler���s armies. These are real combat stories with fictional elements added to fill in the details. This is my father���s story.</p>
