POPCORN ROAD TO PARIS...and Back is a collection of memories by Robert W. Thrasher, an Army Scout during WWII. The author's style is almost that of a comic entertainer. He pokes fun at Uncle Sam in "My First Job," saying he never got paid for any of the jobs he did until he became a soldier and received a dollar a day and room and board! He then became a scout. ..".I soon got used to my job as a scout. I learned to concentrate really hard and be aware of everything all the time. I can tell you that it was a kid's job. An old man sure couldn't handle it. But before you knew it, the war was over and I was laid off. That damn Hitler again." Through the author's eyes you will laugh, and you will cry, but you will never forget these stories.Thrasher, Robert Wyatt is the author of 'Popcorn Road to Paris... and Back', published 2007 under ISBN 9781434313478 and ISBN 1434313476.
