A Story of One is an emotionally intense memoir of a bombardier’s experiences during World War II. This book recreates a straightforward story of a cadet growing into a matured and experienced lieutenant that can be extrapolated to illustrate the immense impact of World War II on individual lives. Unlike the scores of historical studies of leaders, military decisions and battles and equally plentiful novels of the period, A Story of One offers a kind of “people’s history.” It is the true account of a single, unknown individual who stands in for the unsung warriors of the greatest generation by offering readers an insight into the details of one life.

Although rich with military history, A Story of One is not entirely focused on the war. It recounts frugality and emotions on the home front, training, friendships, love affairs, family, confinement as a prisoner of war and much more. Between March 1942 and August 1945 a cadet becomes an aerial warrior, observes his comrades fall victim to the machinery of war, learns that his brother has also been captured, and attempts to ease his family’s fears through frequent letters home.

Besides thousands of wartime personal correspondence, A Story of One draws on extensive interviews with veterans of the 483rd Bombardment Group, conversation with military wives who lived through the war on the home front, and poignant conversations with the bombardier himself.
