Reseña del libro "I'm Still Standing: Memoirs of a Liverpool Scouse War Baby (en Inglés)"

I was born to a low-socio family only months before World War II, having to endure the blitz and rationing and listening to the continuous propaganda and rhetoric between warring countries and a family's future that hung in the balance. We were living a continuous hell throughout the bombings. The early demise of two of my siblings and family members conscripted to fight for king and country. My early years can only be described as tough. As I got older and wiser, it enabled me to find many types of odd jobs that added to the family coffers, money that I would pass on to my mother when times were bad. This book talks about the difficulty of trying to forge a career without formal and education eventually getting an early break working for Brian Epstein and the world famous Beatles, which was the stepping-stone to a successful career. This is my father's story. This is the early years of Dad's life-from staying at an orphanage to working down at the coal mines at twelve years old, being a boy soldier in World War I on the Somme, torpedoing at sea, transporting American troupes to Europe, being court-martialed, and surviving to father eleven children. He emigrated to Australia from Liverpool, United Kingdom, and started a new life at thirty-five years old and loved to start a new career in a foreign country.
