Set in the desperate turmoil of Germany during the final chapter of World War II; "Paper Boats" by Erndell Scott is an emotionally intense; theatrical; suspense-driven read; examining the inevitable crossing of ideology; prejudice and faith amongst the chaos of a decimated post-war culture. As each character strives to find their own safety from enemies and persecution; two nine-year-old boys; Otto; of Jewish faith; and Joseph; a fanatical Hitler Youth; the most unlikely of partners; ï¬nd themselves saviors for one another. Companions cast in deep personal conflict that is entangled with deceit and betrayal; they are swept into an unforgiving journey and become bound to each other; challenging their individual perceptions of mankind; and unbeknownst to them; their very own hearts. As their journey unfolds; Otto's hope wanes; Joseph's hatred swells; and without warning; the steady menace of war unleashes an evil; the likes of which they have never witnessed before.

Walsh takes us through the tough decisions he had to make—and the people disappointed by them; as he enlists into the United States Army to do his part in Korea. The war was not popular. Some said it wasn’t even a war. A police action they called it. The fighting however; was real; and so was the dying. This autobiography shows the pain and heartache that accompanies war and how even a man with strong faith can sometimes find it overwhelming. A GI Machine Gunner is not only an inspirational story of one man; it is also a great lesson on the day to day activities of a machine gun unit during the Korean War.Walsh’s story is a must-read for anyone interested in the Korean War; and ground fighting in particular.
