Veteran Shares Firsthand Account of World War II

War brings agonizing deaths, mangled bodies, years of painful rehabilitation, oceans of personal and family tears and a visceral abhorrence of ALL war. More compassionate empathy, less arrogant posturing, and more war-avoidance negotiations is what is desperately needed.

In his book “Perspective,” World War II veteran David Meakes’ recollections and time-line commentary is divided into six parts:

• Part 1 -- His Great Depression (1930s) growing years.
• Part 2 and Part 3 -- He discusses religious and political influence on war.
• Part 4 -- His 5 years of WWII participation.
• Part 5 -- Analysis of the causes and the avoidance of war.
• Part 6 -- Finally, Meakes shares his thoughts on global education, global justice, and thoughtful steps to global peace.

Melissa Wuske of Clarion Reviews says Meakes’s insights are “engaging and inviting.” Wuske adds that the book’s reflective nature, spanning decades, is its most compelling aspect and that Meakes “offers a detailed look at how a person’s identity and beliefs emanate from the quality and sequence of their life experiences.”

Through a war veteran’s eyes, “Perspective: The Golden Rule,” looks at how world peace can be realistically achieved. Copies of the book are available for purchase in selected online bookstores. Know more about David Meakes and his work on www.davidmeakes.com.
