Working as a Chicago Tribune feature writer before the Second World War, American Red Cross Worker Angela Petesch employed her honed writing skills to a series of letters she sent home with intentions of creating a diary that would survive the war even if she did not. With pluck and gusto, she tells her story from the battle zones of Europe.
Serving hot coffee and donuts was the avenue she, and her Clubmobile, traveled to touch the hearts and souls of American servicemen and women. This book is about the world in which seemingly domestic duty was truly a heroic endeavor.
From London's foggy streets to Ardennes' snowy forest, Angela Petesch followed American GIs through some of the war's most defining moments. She pens a polished picture of her view of the world's fight for freedom as seen through the hole of a donut.
