D-day And Beyond: A Memoir Of War, Russia, And Discovery

Rating:
Summary: A life well lived.
Review: Clinton Gardner has participated in many of the most important events of the past century seeking to bring peace to our world. This autobiography details his participation in the D-Day invasion on Omaha Beach, the Battle of the Bulge, the liberation of Buchenwald Concentration Camp, the Berlin airlift, and the establishment of his Bridges for Peace organization.
He presents a cogent overview of the philosophy of his Dartmouth Professor, Eugen Rosenstock-Huessy, linking this with the Russian philosophers he has studied over his lifetime. As he presents his interest in Russian philosophy he gives an excellent overview of this often overlooked school of philosophy in the U. S.
The book is well written, informative, and persuasive. It should be required reading in general history and philosophy courses at the university level.
