What Papa Told Me is the story of Murray; a young Jewish boy from Poland whose courage and sheer will to live helped him survive eight different labor and concentration camps in the Holocaust; start a new life in America; and keep a family intact in the aftermath of his wife's suicide - one of the Nazis' last victims.

Army Aviation as Seen from the PentagonBy Hans HalberstadtThis is a history of one part of Army aviation; the part played by the senior officers and as viewed from the Pentagon rather than the cockpit. The author seems more interested in the perspective of the commanders and the senior officers in the Department of Defense and Department of the Army. Of course there are lots of "there I was" combat war story books out there; and this title tells a different story in a very academic way; from a distance; and that could be a good thing. Regretfully; Dr. Williams omits some extremely important events from this book. One of those is the arrival of two H-21 helicopter companies in Viet Nam in November of 1961; the 8th and 57th; and these two companies were soon conducting air assault missions quite like those of today. The important part of that story is that; so far as I can tell; the men of these units invented the air mobility mission; the air assault mission; and they cobbled together ways to put machineguns on their aircraft...without any published doctrine I have yet discovered. The story of these two units and the others that joined them conducting combat air assaults in RVN from 1961 to 1965 is missing from this book; along with so much more. The author seems to have done his research with field-grade commissioned officers; they have one part of the story to tell but a fairly small part of what interests me.And for such a detailed book; the lack of an index is quite unfortunate.
