IR VERDICT:
What happens when personal history proves elusive to document? Author Peter Glaser, intent on chronicling his grandfather’s life, resorts to secondary research to track his history, from his Polish birth to his return to U.S. life post-World War I conflict in HERSZ’S STORY. The narrative is filled with good historical notes, detailed accuracy, a few black-and white photographs and a ‘virtual’ recounting of Harry’s service during the Great War.
