Description
The true story of an American B-17 pilot’s last mission and capture. “In October of 1994, I received a letter from a Mr. Joe Koettner in the town of Rott, Germany. He was researching the history of his town and came across the story of an Allied airman who had been shot down over his area during WWII. I was that airman. Once I started to write to him, the memories were too great to confine to a letter. I ended up doing what I had wanted to do for a long time, which was to put the whole story down on paper. On September 12th 1944, I was 23 years old and on my 23rd mission over enemy territory. This is my story.” – Graham Milner

Healing The Child Warrior
This book will fascinate and perhaps unsettle the reader who knows nothing about prisoners of war. There are many accounts of POW experience but Richard Peterson has gone beyond just the experience; his story will intrigue anyone who has even remotely entered the life a former prisoner of war.
He has analyzed the effect on a survivor and how he personally fought and overcame it. His story delves mercilessly into what happens to a man captured and imprisoned by his enemy in combat. His graduate study of psychology has enabled him to translate experience, effect and recovery in both emotional and scientific terms.
