War Through The Hole Of A Donut is the story of Angela Petesch who during the years of World War II was an American Red Cross Worker who served hot coffee and free donuts to American service men and women at home and abroad. Before the war Angela was a feature writer for the "Chicago Tribune" and employed her writing skills in a series of letters she sent home. Her family saved those letters and eventually compiled them into a manuscript for a book. The manuscript was discovered by Hunter Halverson while visiting the Red Cross Museum in Washington DC and got the family's permission to publish Angela's correspondence into a book that makes available the story of a Red Cross Worker's field activities as she followed American GIs through some of the war's most defining moments offering today's readers a unique perspective in a series of articulate, even eloquent observations. A unique, intimate and invaluable contribution to the growing library of World War II memoirs and biographies, War Through The Hole Of A Donut is highly recommended as being a terrific read from first page to last.
