Why I Wasn't There: A Soldier's Memoir of World War II Revised Edition

by Sally "Lamie" Rochwarger Pierson

Overview

Howard Pierson joined the US Army Air Corps to defend America against the intended exterminators of Europe’s Jews. However, he flunked navigation school and then repaired heavy-bomber machine guns. After the peace, he edited a GI newspaper in Germany, reported on trials of war criminals, and helped refugees. Decades later, he discovered to his surprise that his washout as a navigator was a “dirty trick” that a military intelligence officer had perpetrated in defiance of orders from Washington. The McCarthy era had begun early.
