Recent release 'Hostage for Lend-Lease' from Covenant Books author Dr. Norman J. Pyle shares a determined man's fulfilling and profound duty across terrains and oceans.
MURRELLS INLET, S.C., February 7, 2019 (Newswire.com) - Dr. Norman J. Pyle is a graduate of West Chester High School and the School of Veterinary Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania. He was in the United States Army during World War I as a lieutenant and in World War II as a major and was eventually promoted to lieutenant colonel and Chief of Operations in the Development Division for Biological Warfare. He has completed his new book, “Hostage for Lend-Lease”: a book that narrates a man’s steadfast resolve to complete his task despite the odds that come in the way.
This journal is about Dr. Pyle’s journey and crossing paths with the following persons:
Brig. Gen. John MacGruder, Head of American Military Mission to China
Mr. Frank Liu, Head of the Epizootic Prevention Bureau
Dr. T. V. Soong
General Ho, Minister of War
General Stillwell
General Hsu
After serving in World War I, he retained his commission in the Reserve Corps as a Major. Franklin D. Roosevelt ordered him to active duty March 31, 1941, to Fort Sam Houston, Texas, with the Second Medical Laboratory. After Pearl Harbor, the China Lend-Leases program ensued. Dr. Pyle was needed in the event that the Burma Road fell to the Japanese. The only alternative route over which supplies could be brought into China would be the Red Caravan Trail extending from the Russian Chinese Border across Northwest China to Lanchow into Kansu Province. Since transport animals were dying from diseases unknown, a well-qualified veterinary officer with assistants were needed immediately.
Published by Covenant Books of Murrells Inlet, South Carolina, Dr. Norman J. Pyle’s new book contains candid moments and prolific people that define the mission at hand and reflect a sense of patriotism amid war and conflict.
Readers can purchase “Hostage for Lend-Lease” at bookstores everywhere, or online at the Apple iTunes store, Amazon, or Barnes and Noble.
