View larger Author's Note I write fiction. In writing this piece of fiction I have attempted to accurately capture the flavor and the feel and as much of the detail of actual historical events as is practical, but any conflicts between my version of events and the work of historians should unquestionably be resolved in favor of those worthy academics. In writing this book I have relied on dozens of histories, memoirs, newsreels, museum exhibits, and photographic archives, but all errors or deviations from fact are mine alone. Operation Torch and the battle of Kasserine Pass? Real. Tulsa? Real. New York City? Iâm pretty sure that exists. Gedwell Falls is my own invention, though I suspect itâs located quite near Healdsburg, California. Similarly, Camps Maron and Szekely, while suspiciously close to Fort Benning, Georgia, are made up. Other things, things you might not expect, actually happened. A lot of American troops really did go to war on the luxury liner Queen 544 Mary. And the bit about a French soldier who erected a barricade symbolique? That scene is actually based on a true story. Nothing is more unexpected than reality. In the course of portraying the attitudes and notions of social justice prevalent in the United States in those days, I have used language and portrayed attitudes that all good people now find abhorrent. But it was another time, and I canât whitewash history. In those days, racism and sexism and anti-Semitism were all right out there in the open. Some people had begun to see beyond those destructively irrational notions, but it was very much a work in progress. The generation that won World War II saved the worldâno, really, saved the worldâbut they were not saints. Thereâs a bunch more to be found on our website and our Facebook page including videos, photos, maps, music, additional stories, and more. Thanks. Please consider checking for digital shorts wherever you buy ebooks and stay tuned for book two of Front Lines. âMichael Grant
