Vacation Reading

[LibraryMs@AOL.COM]

At the risk of sounding immodest, I could recommend my late husband's book
for those interested in World War II.   He was shot down over Havelte in the
Netherlands while returning from a bombing mission in Vechta, Germany-a
suspected rocket site.  He spent the last eight months of the war with the
Dutch underground.  He taught weaponry to the Dutch.  He waded out to
Engelsmanplaat, a Friesian island in the North Sea, in November and waited to
be picked up by the British.  After waiting for two weeks, he walked back to
the mainland.  It is a personal narrative detailing his experiences.  The
title is *The Evader : An American Airman's Eight Months With the Dutch
Underground* by Harry A. Dolph.  It is published by Eakin Press of Austin,
Texas.  It was the Reader's Digest condensed book in January of 1994.

I traveled with him to the Netherlands on four occasions to research the book
and helped in the editing process.  I learned much about the book business
helping him cope with the many rejection slips and constant rewriting.

You might have to look for this one as it is not in all the stores or
libraries although it is still in print.
