Wolfgang Peter May is no stranger to war. As a young child, he fled
from his home in Breslau, Germany-now Wroclaw, Poland-during World
War II and witnessed the destruction of Dresden. He immigrated to
the United States and eventually joined the US Army. While in the
army, he became an intelligence operations officer of the Fourth
Armored Division in Germany, and he served in the Vietnam War.
These life events profoundly impacted May's view of war. In The War
Around Us, he explores and debates the many past and present faces
of war. Juxtaposing his personal experiences with world events, May
delivers a thought-provoking view of warfare. May discusses World
War I, the development of the atomic bomb, war criminals, and the
ineffectiveness of political leaders. He even comes to grips with
his own war guilt from the Vietnam War and shares his family's
experience in Germany during World War II. May's observations offer
a sobering statement of how armed conflict can leave a legacy that
will resonate for generations to come. Part memoir and part
commentary, The War Around Us delivers a hard-hitting, first-person
look at the true face of war.
