The books contain fictional short stories about U.S. servicemen in World War II. Considering that the pre-war services jumped from only a hundred thousand prior to the war to sixteen million, it is fair to conclude that most of our fighters were civilians unprepared for a world conflict. And yet they were victorious on every front against experienced and very successful foes.
These books try to explain how this was accomplished by placing Americans from most every state in every front of the war, Atlantic and Pacific, and in the types of ships, planes and terrain in which they served. This blog will be used to add extra detail about the weaponry, from heavy cruisers to P-47s, and also talk about the sources that were used if the reader wishes more information. Jon Stafford

I've just finished "Reluctant Warriors" after a friend loaned me the book. The book is excellent with great writing and exciting stories. I had to keep reminding myself this was fiction since the story and the writing made it so real. I'm now ready to start on "Redemption" and looking forward to more books.
