I hate war. War kills. War maims. War orphans. And it leaves a deep scar not only on the land that will take years to heal; but also in the hearts of those who are affected by the war. I am one of those who carry a deep emotional wound to this day; more than sixty years later. During World War II under Japan; my father was imprisoned because he was a Christian minister who refused to bow down to the picture of the Japanese emperor. My elder brother volunteered to join the Japanese military in the hope of having his father released from prison. He left home as a vibrant; fifteen-year-old boy and returned home as a worn-out; injured; eighteen-year-old man after the war; he died a year later. During the Korean War; two North Korean officers came to my house and took my father away because he was a Christian minister. He never returned. Sustained by Love thru the Wars is a story of love; sacrifice; faith; and suffering; all wrapped in one package. The heroine in the story is my mother as seen by her youngest son. Mother prayed without ceasing. Through her unceasing prayers; she was able to walk through the dark tunnel of trials and tribulations and lead us onward with love; grace; and absolute faith in God.

One or two seconds difference could save your life. On a grand scale; throughout history; proper timing and positioning could have saved millions of lives or changed our historical path completely as you so aptly pointed out in this book. Well written examples of what happened but could have had such a profoundly different outcome if decisions by those in authority had been timed and coordinated oh so slightly differently.

Insightful but inconsistentBy Hungry BillThis book has many insightful revelations and discussions of historical turning points; especially with the twentieth century. It suffers; however; from trivial and tedious listing of a lot of tactical military moves in earlier battles. I found myself annoyed as often as informed. I don’t recommend the book for either scholars or casual readers.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Scary and DepressingBy Wendell H HowellSo will mankind go on killing each other or we ever stop this madness? Probably not. North Korea; ISIS; Jews vs Arabs? And the lists goes on. Will our grandkids go through even worse trials? Scary and depressing.
