THE YEARS 1939 TO 1945 BORE WITNESS TO THE MOST DESTRUCTIVE WAR IN HISTORY.
One man walked through the pages of the conflict. He commanded no battalion or fleet yet his footsteps are no less profound or illuminating for that.
This is the story of John Slack, a 94 year old veteran of the conflict.
It is a work of 80,000 words and 19 chapters. It is 20 reflections on a friendship shared between author and subject, essays of scribbled line and word-sketched image. It is a collection of photographs that capture a time, a place and a moment forever. It is an index, tasked with bringing the period to life around the main narrative.
Poignant, harrowing, comical on occasion, your story waited patiently for its turn to be told. It waits no longer, dear friend.
