He enlisted in the Marine Corps after graduating from high school during the Vietnam conflict. During his three-year enlistment, he earned two meritorious promotions, traversed most of Southeast Asia and lost most of those beliefs.He went to college to understand what happened to America and graduated summa cum laude from Moravian University, majoring in English and History. He had several poems and short stories published before he undertook a professional career that took him around the world as a management consultant. He published numerous articles in leading law journals such as The American Lawyer and the New York Law Journal.Curt retired in 2017 to pursue his interests in religion, philosophy, and modern history. His debut novel, The Errors of Mankind, is an anti-war novel covering both World War II and Vietnam. It is not a war story, nor does it attempt to redeem either side in either conflict. It focuses on the key moral issues involved in each war's inception, prosecution, and aftermath; it also deals with the existential issues each character in the book must face as they make their pilgrimage through life.World War II, the Vietnam Conflict and America's War on Terrorism were all launched and defended by ideologies. National Socialism, Communism, and Democratic Capitalism all fought to preserve their version of truth during the 20th Century; while the first two crumbled, the last has prevailed, but its foundations are now beginning to crack and my novel attempts to explain why.Check out his website - www.curtcanfield.com - to view a wide range of BETA-Reader comments and to preview four extracted chapters that introduce the characters in the book.view less
