I was born in the Second World War during the Nazi invasion of my country.
Outside the walls, among others, is the Soviet Empire. It is malevolent, destructive and expanding. It has swallowed up over half a dozen countries since World War II.
The modern assault on the environment began about 50 years ago, during and immediately after World War II.
Gen. Tommy Franks told me the war was being compromised as specialized personnel and equipment were being shifted from Afghanistan to prepare for the war in Iraq - a war more than a year away.

My favorite period is World War II, and I'm in the middle of writing my fourth novel set in that era.

As the Pentagon makes plans for the largest troop rotation since World War II, I will work with the Armed Services Committee to help make this proposal a reality.
