Belated Introduction?

Dear readers -- I thought I had done this already but I don't see it on-line so I'll do it again. Probably not an unusual problem for blog novices.

This is an informal, and perhaps infrequent, blog about my father's book referenced in the previous post: A Shower of Frogs, a World War II Memoir by my father, William J Stigall, Jr. It is a somewhat cynical view of the war by an older enlistee who hated war and disliked the Army but hated the Nazi's more. The previous post gives the context of the title: driving through North Africa as part of the 82nd airborne. My dad served there, as well as in Italy before being captured by the Germans during the D-day offenses.

The book is available from Amazon at:

http://www.amazon.com/Shower-Frogs-World-War-Memoir/dp/0533135354/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1249962936&sr=8-1

I plan to post some paragraphs from each chapter, sequentially, as well as some unpublished work which is more "evocative". I hope you find this insightful.

Regards -- SP
