The Furax Connection
The last thing Louis Rosen expected of his son, Billy, was that he would volunteer for the draft after graduating from Harvard in 1949 with highest honors; and the last thing Billy expected of his father was that he would become a partner in a criminal enterprise known as "Furax Unlimited." Yet, when these two events unexpectedly collide and connect, Billy's life is changed forever.
The Furax Connection chronicles Bill's struggle for survival during his initial weeks in uniform which, unwittingly, he becomes entangled in a web of deceit and intrigue from which he must either extricate himself or suffer the shame and disgrace of a dishonorable discharge. That he survives at all is testimony not only to his resourcefulness and strength of purpose, but to his uncanny ability to forge relationships. And, as Billy struggles to survive, he discovers that contrary to the civilian world of indifferent strangers he left behind, the military is a close-knit family of good and decent people who unselfishly care for their own.
This is a terrific novel. The authenticity and attention to detail are top notch, especially the depiction of military life. A good story with plenty of suspense. The sections on the M1 Garand Rifle are spot on, a rare treat. Highly Recommended!
