Whether you’re a WWII buff, a reader in search of adventure, or just curious about another person’s life, you’ll find it all in D-Day and Beyond, A True Story of Escape and POW Survival, written by Julie M. Phend and Stanley E. Edwards, Jr. The book tells the story of Stan Edwards’ unique experiences as a pilot, an escapee, and a POW at Stalag Luft III in Germany in 1944. Based on hours of interviews, research, and original documents, its strong narrative tone, coupled with factual sidebars, make the book an engaging read for all ages. That’s why a growing number of schools are adding it to their WWII curriculum.

Julie is available to speak to schools, book clubs, and veterans’ organizations with an audio-visual presentation that makes Stan’s story come alive. She loves to share Stan’s story as a way of honoring his memory. Please contact Julie if you’re interested in a presentation.
