Summary: Angel: A Mighty Fortress
Review: "Angel: A Mighty Fortress" is a refreshing blend of WWII history and insight into the lives of the Angel crew...neither aspect dominating the other. It is novels like this that make people want to read about history...In part because they may not realize that is what they are doing. It is possible to walk away from this book aware you are touched by the tragic deaths...but unaware of the historical knowledge gained at the same time. It is also easy for younger generations, such as mine, to look at the WWII gneration as "them". People whos sacrifices are part of a time long gone. The personal accounts of this novel bing to light the fact that "they" are me, only a generation earlier. This novel is a work the soldiers, their familes and the authors can be proud of and that readers can use to connect to them.

Summary: Passionately written
Review: Angel: a Mighty Fortress is the kind of book that has to be read in one sitting---from the first word to the last, you will be enthralled with each member of the crew and the paths that their lives take. From each little mystery to the innocent yet powerful love affair, Don Gaddo and Leslie Barnett beautifully show the dichotomy between the tragedies and miracles of war. This book is one that should be in everyone's home library!

Review: I enjoyed this book so much because you see my husband grew up with the author and we know or knew most of the people in the book personally! This book is an amazing story about WWII and the men and women who died for their country. We knew last summer that Don was writing this book when Sharon [Don's wife], and Don stopped to see us while in Illinois visiting with family and friends. We went out to dinner and while talking about old times and reminiscing Don told us of his search for information about his cousin, Lt. Joe Doglio. He told us of his stop at a Military Museum while on a vacation and how he found the information about the crew and the Angel and how he called the men who were still living to get the first hand accounts of the events that led to the death of the crew and the demise of the Angel. It was a heart wrenching story that needed to be told. We are forever grateful for their friendship and hope to be able to read a sequel to Angel some day soon!

Review: I found Angel: A Mighty Fortress to be a very enjoyable reading experience; one that brought me back years to other WWI books and adventures. It was fast-paced and read in one evening. It seemed that I became involved with the book and each of the families involved. Well done. A don't miss if you enjoy war stories that bring you into the hearts and homes of those involved.
