[b]Rating[/b]: 5 out of 5 stars
An inspirational novel regarding the life of a truly heroic man. He risked his life during WW2 as a bomb disposal officer in Britain. Following his tragic loss of sight following an explosion, his desire to fight on and not let his handicap stop him from living life to the fullest. This is a must read for all.
