Do you like WWII books, fishing with explosives, Nazis, drunk Russians, cooking and skiing? My father just published a book about his experiences as a teenager during WWII.

Colby professor emeritus of German literature recounts surviving the Nazis and postwar racism. The half-Jewish teenager forages to feed family and friends. With humorous and picaresque adventures in school, sports, music, cooking, romance, and intrigue, involving German, Russian, and African American soldiers, Kueter tells the multifaceted story of the German Jews and their unrequited love of Germany.

You can find more info about it here: http://www.polarbearandco.com/books/my_tainted_blood/index.htm

And buy it from Amazon.

And you can listen to him doing a reading.

If you are interested enough to want a signed copy PM me and I'll give you his email address. Amazon probably has the best price however.

Thanks
