Introduction: Bill Stigall's Shower of Frogs, a World War II memoir

Hello, folks. This is a simple blog about a book written by my father, William J Stigall, quite a few years ago (published in 2001 but written in the mid-1980s). It is about his World War II experience in Europe via the 82nd Airborne, and his time in a German POW camp. It's a rather caustic view of the war by someone who hated war but hated the Nazis more.

I've re-written this "Introduction" so it occurs out of order -- I've been adding the first page of various chapters, mostly sequentially, over the past several months. But sometimes I get out of order and since this is a blog rather than a website, I don't seem to be able to reorder the past blog posts.

A Shower of Frogs is available via Amazon at:

http://www.amazon.com/Shower-Frogs-World-War-Memoir

I've reproduced a few paragraphs of the book , as well as some posts from his letters home that weren't published, and I will add additional pages as time passes.

I hope you find it interesting. Regards -- S P
