The dramatic but little known battle at Milne Bay during WWII was a turning point of the South Pacific theatre...yet few people have heard of Milne Bay. In this amazing memoir of a WWII gunner, the turning points of his long life are intertwined with the story of his war years. The young man evolves from a head knocking, carousing, rabble rousing soldier to businessman millionaire, and finally to the gentle and faithful companion of his wife of 60 years who is afflicted with Alzheimers. Ultimately, Turning Points is a portrayal of character forged in war, chiseled by life's struggles, and then sanded smooth with an enduring love and faith. Kaseorg's books always ultimately portray the hand of God in the affairs of men. This is a riveting and hope-filled story of war, despair, struggle, and finally contentment in turning to what matters most in life.
