Harry Lindauer led an extraordinary life: A refugee from Nazi Germany as a teenager, he came to America and soon found himself an officer in Army Intelligence during World War II. The present volume is Part II of Harry’s story and relates how he re-entered the Army during the Korean War and served with distinction in Korea and Vietnam, as well as his exploits during the Cold War in Europe.
His retirement endeavors serve as an in-depth commentary on religious activities at the U.S. Naval Academy, as well as an on-going chronicle of his attempts to reconcile Germans and Jews and to eradicate the roots of antisemitism wherever he could.
