My Two Wars: with an introduction by Page Stegner

My Two Wars: with an introduction by Page Stegner

Moritz Thomsenâ€™s My Two Wars describes the great battles in his life â€“Â one against a rich, tyrannical father; the other against anti-aircraft gunners over Germany in 1943 and 1944. It was completed shortly before Thomsenâ€™s death, and with it he concluded the story of his unusual life. In this posthumously published masterpiece he returns to his youth growing up in a wealthy Seattle household with the father he despised, and goes off to war in Europe as a bombardier with the Eighth Air Force. In his introduction Page Stegner calls it â€œthe best narrative account ever written of an imperfect and fragile human soul caught up in the air war over Germany.â€
But it is Thomsenâ€™s other war â€“ his lifelong and monumental battle with his father â€“Â which begins and ends the book and makes My Two Wars one of the most outrageous and memorable father-and-son stories ever told.
