Greatly enjoy reading first-person autobiographical history books. The chance to hear from those that did the task at hand is humbling and inspiring.

After I read "Fortunate Son", I don't feel the need to read any more.

Robert, I hadn't heard of this book but having read a bit about it and its author Lewis Puller, it seems to underline what I suggested about Peter Clark being lucky. Things could so easily have turned out quite differently for him. An interesting parallel that they both qualified for the bar.
