Threads of The War, Volume IV: Personal Truth-Inspired Flash-Fiction of The 20th Century's War

Threads of The War #4

by Jeremy Strozer

Raw personal emotions. Human trial, triumph and tragedy. Can we experience War through the eyes of the soldiers and civilians who lived it?

See the sites, hear the sounds, and read short stories of war from a unique behind the eyes and in the mind of its participants. From the negotiating table where the future of the Middle East was decided by two men to the streets of Los Angeles during a riot by the Navy, from the perspective of a street urchin in shattered Berlin to the view of a Huey side gunner in the secret war in Laos, the reader is carried from one front of war to another in short easily-readable, yet emotionally compelling, bursts.

Threads of The War, Volume IV is the fourth collection of flash-fiction in the Threads of The War series. If you like history, personal narrative, and have a short attention span, you'll love Jeremy Strozer's touching prose.

Grab a seat and a copy of Threads of The War, Volume IV to see war through the eyes of the men, women and children who lived and died in it.

About the author

I write first-person historical flash-fiction in order to expose the wanton waste of war. Fascinated by ideas and personal stories, I am able to find connections between seemingly disparate phenomena. By enjoying thinking and learning about the past I understand the present through creating its context. I have faith in the links between all things; believing there are few coincidences and that almost every event has a reason. I am also inspired by the future and what could be; thereby inspiring others with my visions of what occurred and what is possible.

My inspiration comes from education in improvisational acting; the actions and writing of Gene Sharp, Martin Luther King, Mahatma Gandhi, Woody Guthrie, Studs Terkel, and Henry David Thoreau; and an affinity for history. I believe all stories are best told from the personal perspective and learning about history should be an emotionally driven experience. Therefore, I push the conviction all history is simply a personal story, compounded and woven with the personal story of everyone else, throughout time.

Raised in California, I moved to D. C. to attend university. Through education and luck, I've traveled the world helping remove unexploded ordnance from war ravaged countries, stemming the flow of the world's most dangerous weapons, and potentially reducing the likelihood of war between some of the world's most powerful countries.

Now, I simply seek to warn the world of the human cost of violence.

This is a fantastic set of books. They consist of short essays from the point of view of people involved or affected by the various wars. In addition, there are additional pages that have not only links to additional background documents regarding the various essays. The additional documents could be maps, photos or official documents.

I highly recommend the four volumes of Threads of the war. I acquired the first volume free from Amazon. I received the last three volumes complimentary ebook with no obligation. I am writing this honest review on my own.
