From Homefront to Battlefront<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

Frank Lavin, author of\u00a0Home Front to Ba<\/i><\/span><\/a>ttlefront<\/i><\/span><\/a>\u00a0<\/i>will join us to discuss the World War II experiences of Carl Lavin.<\/span><\/p>\n

Carl Lavin was a high school senior in Canton, Ohio, when Pearl Harbor was attacked. In his freshman year of college, he joined the reserves, a decision that would take him with the US Army from training across the United States and Britain to combat with the 84th Infantry Division in the Battle of the Bulge.\u00a0Home Front to Battlefront<\/i>\u00a0is the tale of a foot soldier who finds himself thrust into a world where he and his unit grapple with the horrors of combat, the idiocies of bureaucracy, and the oddities of life back home\u2014all in the same day. The book is based on Carl\u2019s personal letters, his recollections, and those of the people\u00a0he served beside, official military history, private papers, and more.<\/span><\/p>\n

Home Front to Battlefront<\/i>\u00a0contributes the rich details of one soldier\u2019s experience to the broader literature on World War II. Lavin\u2019s adventures, in turn disarming and sobering, will appeal to general readers, veterans, educators, and students of the war. As a history, the book offers insight into the wartime career of a Jewish Ohioan in the military, from enlistment to training through overseas deployment. As a biography, it reflects the emotions and the role of the individual in a total war effort that is all too often thought of as a machine war in which human soldiers were merely interchangeable cogs.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

Frank Lavin<\/b>\u00a0is the son of Carl Lavin. Frank has served as a US ambassador, White House aide, banker, and trade negotiator. He currently works in business in China.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/td>\n
