Publisher Description:

"A powerful testament to the realities of war." - Mike

The Threads of the War series shares personal stories from real-life military history across the span of The 20th Century's War. With short stories from WWI and WWII, the reader is carried from one front of the war to another with emotionally compelling bursts. In Volume II, celebrate on the street of Paris in Summer 1914; dive under the coast of North Carolina in 1918, stand on the evacuated beaches of northern France in 1940; and peer into the minds of the confined and the liberated at camps in 1945.

Each story in this collection opens the door to a unique personal facet of war; exposing the reader to the facts, fictions, and fallacies of armed violence. Following each story, the reader is provided specific and revealing facts about the events narrated, offering both entertainment and education within the time it takes to read a blog-post.

Contributor Bio(s): Strozer, Jeremy Robert: - 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.
