The theme of TIMEFLASH is how fast the momentous events transpire in one man's lifetime.
From an amazing recall of his own life the author has captured much that has happened around him, what he has been told, and what he has researched, and woven it into this fast moving incredible true story of six generations, and their reflection of the world as they knew it.
From sitting on Lincoln's knee watching Union troops march to Appomattox for Lee's surrender to managing the Presidential campaign of Bob Lafollette the father of the American Progressive movement; riding with Teddy Roosevelt at San Juan Hill to chasing Pancho Villa to Vera Cruz with "Black Jack" Pershing; flying bomb missions over Germany to the Bataan Death March; beating back ground attacks by the North Vietnamese Army to lying on the warm sands of Hawaii; winning the Cold War strategically through diplomacy backed by nuclear deterrence to leveling the social playing field in America; sailing the shark infested Monterrey Bay in heavy seas, and almost perishing to winning in American politics.
This epic tale moves swiftly in a TIMEFLASH.
