The Last Man To Die

War is murder in self-defense, the harsh lesson that James Jedidiah “Jed” Martin learns as he is reluctantly drafted into the American Expeditionary Force (AEF) in World War One. He and his best friend, Mike O’Kean, a semi-pro boxer, gambler, and adventure seeker, depart for service in the American Army in France in 1918. Jed must carry on as his harsh, authoritarian cotton farmer uncle, who has raised the orphan Jed, is replaced by the alcoholic, degenerate section sergeant, Leo Brock, who challenges Jed’s courage. Eventually, there must be a show down between Jed and Brock. Through the travails of war, Jed loses everything he loves and everything he hates and is left an empty vessel he tries to fill with alcohol. But fate offers him a ray of hope for the future. The Last Man To Die is a fictional account of true events including family historical lore. If you like tales of courage, compelling characters, and historical accuracy you should grab The Last Man To Die and start reading today.
