За събитието

In "One of Four," Travis Davis takes you on an unforgettable journey from the battle-scarred trenches of World War I to the solemn grounds of Arlington National Cemetery. Through the eyes of an unknown soldier, discovered by a young French girl and immortalized in his 100-year-old diary, this novel intertwines the harrowing experiences of the Western Front with a modern-day story of a father and son, estranged yet brought together by the soldier's legacy. As they retrace the soldier's final days, this poignant narrative reveals the unspeakable horrors of war, the enduring bonds of family, and the timeless pursuit of honor. "One of Four" is a compelling exploration of courage, sacrifice, and the healing power of remembrance.

This was a page turner that draws any ww1 reader in. Such a full circle from start to end. It takes you through the life with very little detail who this unknown soldier is or where they may have come from. It grabs you in follow the soldier but also how a diary gets to a father and son. The father is a veteran but their journey and bond grew with this story set coincidentally after the main part of Covid 19 and engaging the Spanish flu of 1918. I received an advance review copy for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily.

Travis Davis is an Air Force Brat and grew up in Arkansas, Spain, New York, and California. He joined the US Army at 17 years old as an Armored Reconnaissance Specialist and was stationed in the various forts in the United States and Germany, where he met his beautiful wife. During his three tours in Germany, he conducted hundreds of border patrols along the East-West German border and the Czechoslovakia-West German border. Where he saw first-hand communism and its oppression of its citizens, he retired from the US Army, where his last duty assignment was as Assistant Operations Sergeant of the 2nd Armored Cavalry Regiment at Fort Polk, Louisiana. He is a lifetime member of the Sergeant Morales Club. Travis has received multiple awards, including the Meritorious Service Medal and five Army Commendation Medals. While not writing or working, Travis enjoys exercising, travelling (loves a good road trip), baking different loaves of bread, and relaxing in his backyard with friends and family while having a cold beer. He currently lives in Allen, Texas, with his wife of 37 years. He has three adult children: two daughters living in Arkansas, one son living in Northern Virginia, and five wonderful grandchildren.
