Lightning Down: A World War II Story of Survival

byTom Clavin

Focused on a World War II Story of Survival, Lightning Down brings Tom Clavin's biographical portrait to a complex and consequential subject. Its account follows central actors and turning points while showing how the story reflects questions in the connected fields of biography & autobiography and history. Rather than isolating its subject, the book shows how private experience and public systems continually influenced one another. What emerges is a nuanced account of the subject, its immediate consequences, and its wider meaning.
