Second to the Last to Leave USS Arizona - SIGNED Copy - Interactive Edition: Memoir of a Sailor - The Lauren F. Bruner Story

Second to the Last to Leave is a true story of lost love and the desire
to live through one of America's greatest battles lost, as it shares
the story of a young man's coming of age at the moment World War II
begins. There can be no better backdrop (in American history) for this
story to be told than Battleship USS Arizona at Pearl Harbor on the
lazy Sunday morning of 7 December 1941.

Second to the Last to Leave is truly one of the last great World War II
stories to be shared with future generations and is told by the sailor
and Arizona Crew Member Lauren Bruner, who shares his story raw and full
of laughter and tears.

At 97, Lauren tells the story of his first true love with a beautiful
Japanese bartender named Nikki on the night before the attack only to
have the enemy pull her from his grip, never to be seen again.

According to those who have read this book, it is a gripping thriller
and unlike any other battlefield account, as it allows the reader to
step back in time and stand next to a young man fighting for his life
minute by minute as those around him perish.

As part of this fight to survive and after taking two machine gun
rounds, Lauren and his crew of five escaped the ship after it exploded
over the Valley of Death in what historians consider to be USS
Arizona's Greatest Escape.

This book has everything good storytelling is all about: lost love,
adventure, death, and the desire to live as well as an underlying need
to fulfill a personal promise to honor the man who saved his life,
which he finally accomplished 76 years later.

FEATURES:

This special Interactive Edition of Second to the Last to Leave is
available as both a printed edition with online access and as a Kindle
edition. Both editions include access to over 100 personal photos of
life aboard USS Arizona, through the attack on Pearl Harbor, and on
into the rest of the war. In addition, the most complete Deck Log of
USS Arizona on the morning of 7 December 1941 is also included as a
bonus to the readers. This Deck Log has taken over five years to
research and the notes provided on individual crew members make it well
worth the read.

Of the 5 remaining crew members of this great icon of America, Lou
Conter probably sums up the book best when he describes it as the "best
and most thrilling account of what really took place aboard Arizona on
the morning of 7 December, 1941" and he recommends Lauren's book as the
best he has ever read.
