The Last Word by Ron Miner

A creative take on World War II history, The Last Word: A Novel of the War in the Pacific by Ron Miner shines new light on the heroism of a fading generation. An unexpected but historic article falls into the lap of a hungry journalist, sending readers on a spiraling journey to the past, through recollection and memory, as an unlikely friendship forms between subject and storyteller. Part memoir, part slow-burning drama, this well-crafted novel will appeal to WWII buffs, as well as anyone seeking a visceral escape to an era that we must not forget.
