Frank Kravetz had an amazing story to tell and I am so honored to have had a chance to read Eleven Two. What does Eleven Two mean? It refers to the date of November 2. You will have to read the book to see what events happened on this date. When you do, you will be astonished.
Eleven Two is Frank Kravetz's personal story of his life. We follow Frank from the time he was a very young man, through his time in the Army Air Corps, his time as a prisoner of war and how he has continued to help veterans after his discharge from the service.
Eleven Two is a wonderful book for anyone to read but it is so important for the younger generation of today to read this book. It gives a detailed description of what it was like to be involved in a war. Frank gives the reader detailed descriptions of what it was like to be held captive in a prisoner of war camp and how one tries to deal with it in order to survive. There was not enough food and the living conditions were filthy. Frank mentioned that one day, while eating his soup, he noticed a bug in it. He figured it best to eat the bug also because he could probably use the protein. I will pass my copy along to my cousin's young son who is very interested in history. I told him about this book and he is looking forward to reading it.
Frank also shows the reader the important role his faith and family played in his life. There are several of Frank's personal photos included in the book.
Eleven Two is a story that is very moving and written with a great deal of detail. There is a very interesting chapter at the end called "Reflections". Also included is a chapter by Anne, Frank's wife. There is also a tribute to Frank written by his daughter Cheryl.
I could go on and on about why you should read this book but I don't want to spoil it by saying too much. Thank you Frank for writing this book especially so the younger generation could read about history from a person who has lived through such an ordeal. Thank you for your service to our country and for all the time you have spent helping other veterans.
