Author Glenn Ives presents his historic fiction based on the true story of army Dr. Jack Prior. Jack and his family have ties to CNY.
Join us on July 23rd at 6pm as author Glenn Ivers presents his historical fiction, Angels of Bastogne, a Remembrance of World War II.
Angels of Bastogne is based on the true story of U.S. Army doctor Jack Prior and two heroic Belgian nurses who volunteered in his aid station in Bastogne, Belgium, that was bombed on Christmas Eve, 1944. It is also the story of soldiers and civilians swept up in the struggle for control of the strategic town during the Battle of the Bulge, and of the veterans who reunited in Bastogne fifty years later to reminisce and remember fallen comrades.
Angels of Bastogne is a profound exploration of the human condition in the cauldron of mortal conflict: of suffering and compassion, fear and courage, trauma and healing, guilt and redemption, and love, loss and loyalty.
