"One Soldier's Story"
By Bob Dole

Harper Collins, U.S. $25.95 Canada $36.95
Also available now in paperback.

This enthralling story leads us down the path of a hard-working, middle-class family. It reflects a great generation and describes where their values and work ethic came from. The story demonstrates the family unity and love that carries over into real-life drama for Bob Dole on the battlefield and later in politics.

The story covers the early days in Russell, Kan., and beyond his 30 years in the U.S. Senate. Dole reveals a great tale about his life and times. He is a great American and gives us a solid feel for life in World War II and beyond. His own personal journey with difficult handicaps and overcoming his boyhood shyness are all elements that show that everyone can succeed if they decide not to give up when things get tough! 

This story captures Dole’s experience growing up in the 30s and the hard times of the Great Depression. Dole was an aspiring college lad when the war came and it changed his life forever.

Don’t miss reading this great tale. Purchase a copy or stop by your local library soon. You will be glad you did!
