I enjoyed this book greatly and it made me proud. Part of this comes from the fact that the author is my grandfather and it is amazing the many things I learned about my background that I never knew. Even if he were not my grandfather I would recommend this book to anyone who is interested in a good story and with an interest in history. I was a history major myself and have read many books about people's lives in history and I can tell you that you will enjoy this book.

Having never heard of Plato Papajohn before I was a little bit skeptical about buying/reading the book. But, a friend recommended the book and so I figured I would give it a shot. I was overly impressed. This man's life story is amazing (even though I have never met him). Its a wonder that one person has experienced so much in one lifetime....including war experiences from Greece during Nazi occupation/invasion, experiences by an immigrant arriving to the US for the first time, then only a few years later actually fighting for the US as a citizen and many more interesting trials and tribulations (such as the mysterious coin/young orphan girl)......check the book out for more.Anyway, any person would enjoy this book because it includes all aspects of life in a passionate and emotional story. I highly recommend this book to anyone who enjoys a good read.
