Exciting Stories of My Personal Brushes with Greatness: Memoirs of Another Time (1922 to 1956): Stories of an Incredible Anglo/American Family Who LIV (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781456741990)

Born in 1922, Charles Austin Sherman has written a book about his experiences that few people can ever claim His mother was a famous American actress of the time. As a child he lived in Manhattan and summered on Long Island. After his parents' divorce, his mother met and married Colonel John Bigelow Dodge, an American-educated British citizen who saved her life while she was swimming and was caught in a rogue current. Dodge (Steve McQueen starred as Col. Dodge in the movie, The Great Escape), was a war hero and a good friend of Winston Churchill. John Dodge moved his new family to London where they were to stay. And so the stage was set for meeting famous people and history makers. People who cross the pages of this book include: Winston Churchill, Franklin D. Roosevelt, Adolf Hitler, Herman Goering, Tito, Mussolini's son-in-law, Ernest Hemingway, Marlene Dietrich, General George C. Marshall, King Edward VIII, Wallis Simpson, and Eva Peron. Anyone who is interested in the period and in the wars that tore nations apart will find this personal account to be fascinating reading. Mr. Sherman continues to live a charmed life in Tampa, Florida.
