Dante Santacroce was born in 1929 in New York City. Living on 27th street in his youth was a special yet grim experience. Determined to make it out of the city he ignored his counselor's suggestion to attend trade school, and instead struggled hard to get a high school degree. Despite his average grades, as luck would have it he applied to Georgia Tech University in Atlanta for the winter quarter and because of the many freshman drop-outs, he was accepted. In addition to being an architect, Dante was the director of the Underground Theatre in Atlanta for 44 years. Despite his professional success, deep inside he has continued to be that little boy from the streets of New York City, always wondering why he was lucky enough to make it out.
Born in 1922, Charles Austin Sherman has written a book about his experiences that few people can ever claim! His mother was a famous American actress of the time. As a child he lived in Manhattan and summered on Long Island.

And so the stage was set for meeting famous people and history makers. People who cross the pages of this book include: Winston Churchill, Franklin D. Roosevelt, Adolf Hitler, Herman Goering, Tito, Mussolinis son-in-law, Ernest Hemingway, Marlene Dietrich, General George C. Marshall, King Edward VIII, Wallis Simpson, and Eva Peron. Anyone who is interested in the period and in the wars that tore nations apart will find this personal account to be fascinating reading.
