Millville's Mac - The Life Story of a World War I I Combat Marine

Known for his quick wit, charm, and compassion, John McNamara has told the story of his life, family and war in a compelling, and honest manner. One reviewer said "Johnny Mac's book tells it like it was and makes the terror, the drudgery, the camaraderie, the bravery come alive and bring us back to boot camps and ball fields, beach landings and bayonets, battles and burials - all told in the voice of one who was there, one who still mourns fallen comrades, one who can tell the story, sprinkle it with humor and sadness and leave you feeling, "Aaah, that's how it was," leave you feeling breathless at how mere mortals could summon the courage to be better than they were." John weaves the stories of living in a small town, following his dreams, serving his country and meeting the love of his life into interesting chapters paralleling his life. With these stories, our memories head to our own childhood and a simpler time.
