The Best Years of My Life

Rating:
Summary: The story of a true American and patriot; inspiring
Review: For anyone who is a fan of the 1946 movie "The Best Years of Our Lives", this book will be thoroughly enjoyed. Mr. Russell is clearly the one "star" of the movie for whom everything was most difficult, and whose wonderful portrayal was sadly under compensated by the producer. Given a motto of "it's not what you've lost but what you have left that counts" during his rehab period, Mr. Russell applies that philosophy throughout his life as a very pragmatic and realistic individual. He is a role model for anyone to emulate and admire. His anecdotes and revelations about the process of filming the movie itself are also fascinating.
