Invitation to a Conflict, is a young shipyard worker's eye-witness experience of the warfare in the Pacific, at Pearl Harbor and Guadalcanal. Larry was invited by the Navy Labor Plank to work in Hawaii, while he had taken time faraway from Ohio State College or university, to earn the finances necessary for his junior calendar year. On his first Sunday morning hours in Oahu, he organized to meet with his brother, who was stationed at Pearl Harbor. Waiting around there at the Navy Lawn, Dry out Dock No. 1, taking in the sights of the harbor and the USS Pennsylvania, the scene modified astonishingly as Pearl Harbor was brutally attacked before his own sight. His report details the horror of the invasion, its aftermath, and the courage and devotion of the survivors working to rebuild. After months of round-the-clock work, and with profound concern that the Japanese would assault again soon, Larry used the occasion of his first day off to become listed on the US Military. This time, should the foe invade, he wished to be hauling a rifle. Portion in the 25th Division as a forward artillery spotter, he was area of the effort to assist and relieve components of the 1st and 2nd Sea Corps Divisions at Guadalcanal. Having spent weeks behind foe lines, his memoirs express the violent fight, tense missions, camp activities, and life associated with an American serviceman in World Conflict II. This record celebrates the type, courage, and even the indomitable laughter of these who fought.
