Fascinating, thank you Bill. I’ve just ordered the war recollections book. (That’s the second book I’ve ordered off the back of this newsletter! Happily I can pick then up secondhand.) My grandfather was in charge of one of the amphibious vehicles that landed in Normandy that day. He didn’t like to talk about his war experiences. It’s going to be insightful reading Sugarman’s account. I’ll take the book with me next time I visit my parents. I was also grateful to have learnt about the Freedom Summer project.

Thanks Marta. Hopefully Sugarman's narrative will 'open some doors' for your understanding of what your grandfather went through.
These illustrations are sublime.
