In 1962 when Tim Bazzett graduated from high school he'd had enough of academia and classroom drudgery, so he joined the army - and received an education he'd never imagined. Perhaps one of the most unlikely and inept citizen-soldiers since Gomer Pyle, Tim somehow survives the terrors and tribulations of basic training at "Fort Lost-in-the-Woods, Misery," and after further training in the mysteries of Morse code in Massachusetts and Maryland, the small-town innocent is launched overseas and into the larger world. In northern Turkey he finds himself a link in the outermost defenses of America during a Cold War he only imperfectly understands. There he sees poverty and hatred in the faces of children and is forced to confront his own faults and inner demons. Later on in Germany, no longer quite so innocent, he chases girls and dreams of being a rock star. But at the heart of Bazzett's narrative are the characters - the friends he makes along the way. For this is ultimately a book about friendship - and about growing up. In his first volume of memoirs, Bazzett made his Michigan hometown in the fifties come alive for all his readers. In Soldier Boy, his military experiences are made just as real. Get ready to laugh, and maybe cry a little too, as the irrepressible Reed City Boy rides again.

Soldier Boy details the epic story of an immigrant family's journey from Russia to America, arriving in the early twentieth century. Born in 1932, Ben is raised on the tough streets of Philadelphia, surrounded by a motley collection of WWI veterans, gangsters, refugees, and his large extended family.After graduating high school, Ben leaves home to pursue a life of promise and adventure in the US Navy, attending universities in the South via the Reserve Officer Training Corps. He witnesses racism and religious intolerance, along with Elvis Presley's doomed concert in Atlanta. Operations take him to Europe, the Americas, and the Caribbean, where he parties in Havana on New Year's Eve as Castro takes over the island nation.Stationed in the Panama Canal Zone, Ben leads the South American end of the Finance Aviation Office for the US Navy's Atlantic Fleet. Directed by President Eisenhower, he and his superiors employ clandestine techniques to support actions against Communists in South America. The Kameradenwerk, an organization that protects and finances Nazi/German businesses in Argentina, eventually fund these operations as US financial contributions cease. He receives special combat training and is personally involved in many top-secret missions.As Ben advances from Midshipman to Lieutenant Commander, he gradually realizes that what is asked of him threatens to destroy all he really cares about, his family and his morals. He refuses to participate in further assignments after innocent victims are killed, becomes mentally distraught, and is transferred to Washington DC. After his discharge, he joins the MLK Freedom March, listening to the famous speech on August 28, 1963. His search for inner peace finally begins.

Elvis Presley's clever manipulation of his numerous interests remains one of the music world's great marvels. His synthesis of country, rhythm & blues and gospel resulted in an inventive mixture of hair-raising rock & roll and balladry. This book focuses on the music of Presley's groundbreaking early years and includes a comprehensive analysis of every Presley recording session from the 1950s. Chapters show how Presley, with one foot in delta mud and the other in a country hoedown, teamed with Scotty Moore and Bill Black to fuse two distinctly American musical forms--country and blues--to form what would come to be known as "rockabilly." Also detailed is Presley's influence on music and how his contributions are still celebrated today.
