Su questo libro

L'autore:

Born on March 23, 1923 in Prague, Okla., Juarez Roberts grew up in a succession of rough oil field towns during the hard scrabble years of the Dust Bowl and the Great Depression. Right after Pearl Harbor he enlisted in the paratroops. He was only 18 and at the time of his enlistment this required his parents' written consent. He served with distinction in the 507th Parachute Infantry throughout the Second World War, participating in both the Normandy Jump and the Battle of the Bulge, and was awarded the Bronze Star with Oak Leaf Cluster, the Purple Heart, and the Combat Infantry Badge with two arrowheads and four stars. After the war he studied at the University of Oklahoma at Norman. He had a wide range of interests, but his primary focus was and remained creative writing and, after a brief stint as a foundry foreman, he wrote for a succession of prestigious television shows, including the Theatre Guild's "U.S. Steel Hour," "Bonanza" and "Checkmate." He died on February 21, 2009 in Waldport. Oregon. Married for more than fifty years, he is survived by his wife Sonya and daughter Wendy.
