    About this ebook

    The book relates the experiences of a tank crew, driving a Sherman tank, christened the Lady Bug, from the landing in Africa through campaigns in northern Italy. Sgt. Hawkins is in command, Jake is the gunner and Hicks is the loader. They survive combat, going up against the dreaded Tigers, Panthers and the cursed 88's, POW camp, horrendous losses along the way; the question is can they survive the peace, especially as Hawkins comes home badly wounded.

    The best years of their lives seared by the horrors of war, can they readjust, find a new focus? Whether in war or peace, they continue to rely on each other to pull themselves through all the challenges.

    BIO: Nearing retirement, I now have more time to devote to writing (and if I don’t, I squeeze the day until there is a space/time to crawl into). Over the past 15 years, I have worked on 15 books, three of which (of the Dreamcast series) are self-published.My website, http://www.PaulTelegdi.ca gives a full account of my life and accomplishments, which I shall not repeat here.The thumbnail version: I was born in Hungary; when young immigrated to Canada with my family, attended University of Waterloo, Ontario, where I met my wife. Spent years in West Germany where my wife was studying music while I was learning German. Returning to Canada, we ended up on a farm in Ontario with pets. Long-time married, I boast of three sons with talent and personality.Presently I am office manager of my wife’s private practice of psychology. I like kayaking and windsurfing. I belong to a number of writers’ groups, and often choose writing over sleeping. eBooks are an exciting new chapter in my life and I’m looking forward to the wider exposure.My motto: Want a better life? Then write it!
