Scarcely described until now, Army Brat: World War II is an essential account that fills a major gap in history.<br />Author Laura Thurston Gutman lived deeply embedded within the US Armed Forces from the United States earliest entry into World War II through the Vietnam era. Chronicling pivotal events during those years, this historical autobiography describes a life inextricably intertwined with the military. From her birth at West Points hospital, to her cobbled-together education, and witnessing her fathers many military honors, Lauras childhood was one of intense awareness of the danger her father faced and the courage her mother displayed. As she grew older, she lurked in the background during long evenings of intense discussions of policy. Through the constant upheaval and disruption so familiar to military families, Laura developed a radical independence, a determination to gain control over her life, and a fearless approach to her own education.<br />Chronicling the experiences of a strong military family as they witness and participate in the unfolding of history in a dangerous and challenging world, Army Brat identifies consequential insights into the critical importance of a strong religious foundation; an educational system dedicated to core concepts of nation and loyalty; and leadership that prioritizes sovereignty, national defense, and military support.</p><p>About the Author</p><p>Laura Thurston Gutman is a retired pediatrician now living in Durham North Carolina.
