My Two Wars

Moritz Thomsen'sMy Two Warsdescribes the great battles in his life one against a rich, tyrannical father; the other against anti-aircraft gunners over Germany in 1943 and 1944. It was completed shortly before Thomsen's death, and with it he concluded the story of his unusual life. In this posthumously published masterpiece he returns to his youth growing up in a wealthy Seattle household with the father he despised, and goes off to war in Europe as a bombardier with the Eighth Air Force. In his introduction Page Stegner calls it "the best narrative account ever written of an imperfect and fragile human soul caught up in the air war over Germany." But it is Thomsen's other war his lifelong and monumental battle with his father which begins and ends the book and makesMy Two Warsone of the most outrageous and memorable father-and-son stories ever told.Thomsen, Moritz is the author of 'My Two Wars', published 2007 under ISBN 9781586421472 and ISBN 1586421476.
