Title: “Waiting in the Wings: Arming the Bomb in a World Gone M.A.D.”
Author: Lee Burtman writes the little-known stories of our American heroes, so that we may know, remember, and honor their sacrifices. She is a retired Minnesota educator, wife, and mother of four grown children and eight grandchildren. Book profits support her passions—the DAV, Mercy Ships, Samaritan’s Purse, and Shepherds Foundation, which serves children with disabilities and adults with war injuries overseas.
Description: A forgotten boy. A forgotten war. An unforgettable true story. During his final days of life, 83-year-old veteran, Neal Tusler, discloses the smoldering pain of childhood abandonment and betrayal after being dumped in a Minneapolis orphanage during the Great Depression. He also exposes his top- secret role as a crewman of the B-36 “Peacemaker” bomber, tasked with nuclear deterrence and forcing an end to the Korean War. Lastly, he reconciles with the estranged daughter whose probing evoked those long-buried memories.
