His first published book, Crossing the Sauer (Burford Books, 2002), an account of his experience as a combat infantryman in WWII, was hailed by Paul Fussell, author of The Great War and Modern Memory, as “one of the most honest, unforgettable memoirs of the war I’ve read.” His second book, a memoir entitled Through a Portagee Gate (Tagus Press, 2003), is a remarkably honest self-portrait and an endearing tribute to the author’s father, a Portuguese immigrant cobbler who came to America in 1915. His fourth book, Tony, A New England Boyhood (Tagus Press, 2008), is a novel about growing up in the 1930s in Gaw, a fictional industrial city very much like New Bedford.
