An
Emotional Gauntlet
From Life in Peacetime
America to the War in European Skies
Stuart J. Wright
Terrace Books
Reviews:
"A compelling story. Wright
establishes the strong spirit these men shared, based on their
pilot's pledge that he would bring them back—back from each
mission and back to resume their peacetime lives. An Emotional
Gauntlet stands out for its integration of prewar civilian
life with wartime experiences. To me, this is the essence of
America's story in the war, and I am glad to find a book that
comprehends this and tells the story from this perspective."—Jerome
Klinkowitz, author of Yanks over Europe: American Flyers in
World War II
"Superb. I highly recommend An
Emotional Gauntlet. The main thread, about the Corky
crew, is terrific."—Martin W. Bowman, author of
B-24 Liberator: Combat Legends and Wild Blue Yonder: Glory
Days of the U.S. 8th Air Force in England
"[An Emotional Gauntlet] describes
each mission in great detail, including the D-Day invasion. It
is very informative, descriptive, awesome . . . filled with humor,
chaos, horror, and tragedy."—Harriett Gustason, Freeport
Journal-Standard
