Battles Forgotten: Afrique du Nord

by George Vardaman Jr

Overview

Two Texas brothers flee their outlandish family, poverty and abuse and join the military before World War II to maintain U.S. fighter planes. A Swedish chef, singing Haitian pilot and Free French Bedouin are their comrades. While the home-front is poignant and humor is at heart of this book, it is also a commentary on poverty, faith, war, race and survival.

About the Author

George Vardaman, Jr. spent 42 years of his successful career in pharmaceuticals, home health and specialty pharmacy. He was born and raised in Denver, Colorado by college professor parents. 30 years of his career were spent in Southern California where he met his wife, Karin, the author of the Children’s Book Series, Gary the Gargoyle.
He began his 13 years of service in Africa with Saddleback Church in 2007; established Eye Care, Africa! (ECA)/Clean Stoves in 2012: The 501(C)(3) charity teaches basic eye care; teaches women to build stoves that eliminate 90% of eye/lung damaging CO emissions. ECA Projects must be sustainable; economically empowering, replicable and scalable.

When he was 8 years old, George told his father, George, Sr. (author of 14 text books on Business Communication) he wanted to be a writer. Given his Father’s experience in having to have his books adopted for curriculas to sell any books, Dr. Vardaman replied, “You can’t make any money doing that.” Years passed. George Jr.’s passion for writing never left and thrives in the BATTLES FORGOTTEN Series.

Five years ago, Karin and he moved back to Indian Hills, Colorado where they currently live with their dogs, Padraig, Oakely and Snuggles.

George, Jr. holds a Bachelors of Arts in Political Science/History and a Masters in Business Administration from the University of Denver. He is the Past President of the Laguna Niguel LIONS Club.
