| Publisher Description: In this riveting postmodern narrative, Dr. Gary Lelonek uncovers the rich history of his grandfather, Charlie Lelonek. From multiple perspectives and against the backdrop of world events, the author learns of his family's WWII experience. Part memoir, part detective work and part history, We Fought Like Lions reveals one man's chilling account of one of the darkest times in history. Unifying the voices of Charlie Lelonek and his siblings, we see the powerful role of the individual within a family, a nation and as part of history itself. The combination of individual accounts and historical context continues to impact upon the identity of each generation of Charlie's family. Through the author's research, his sense of self and place within the larger intergenerational context has been enriched, providing strength, resilience and security. |
