About this ebook
The reader will feel a young American’s particular and personal triumphs as he develops an extraordinary will to survive and grow up in the face of very arduous demands that take him throughout America and literally around the world from Boston to San Francisco. He makes brief stops away from his home country in Rio de Janeiro, Suez, Capetown South Africa, and Ceylon, and makes several visits throughout Australia. He does battle in Buna and Milne Bay on Papua, on Mindanao and Luzon in the Philippine Islands, and on other small isles of the East Indies
Chester’s Stories will enhance your understanding of what one twentieth-century man’s economic hardship and military service were like. It will also elevate your appreciation of a time when Americans, unified by a common purpose, pulled together with their allies to make our world a better place.
