A Better Understanding of Poliomyelitis and PPS (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781515249665)

Tom House was born on the 22nd April 1944 in Greenock, Scotland. He grew up in Scotland and England. He became seriously ill with infantile paralysis (Poliomyelitis) at the age of 6 1/2 years and suffered for many years from the after effects. Despite spastic paralysis, he went through a painful process, one that he'd set himself - his goal - to recover and be and look like all the others of his age. His book Green Fields on a Dusty Road, is his own childhood biography. Only a few names and places were changed. He became a boy soldier at the age of 15 1/2. Later on, a few years after he'd passed through to man's service at the age of 17 1/2, he changed to the Intelligence Corps. He was in central Europe during the Cold War as a counter-espionage and counter-intelligence operator. The Post-poliomyelitis Syndrome, not known then, but symptoms that affected him considerably, left him no choice but to leave the services. He then worked as a computer analyst in German and American companies in research and development departments for over two decades in Europe as systems programmer and analyst. Later on he grounded his own company in Southern Germany. His hobbies are singing, playing piano and oil painting. He has already exhibited some of his paintings. He grounded a charity organization with his friend, Professor Kai Paschen MD a few years ago and in between has written other books, Spies and Sacred Lies - a novel, Jimmy McCall and PPS Besser Verstehen in German.
