My father Ted fought in North Africa, Italy, and Germany during World War II. My grandfather survived the horrors of the trenches in World War I. I truly believe that one of the E.U.'s greatest achievements is that it has kept its members out of conflict in Europe.

Mein Vater Ted hat im Zweiten Weltkrieg in Nordafrika, Italien und Deutschland gekämpft. Mein Großvater hat die Schrecken der Schützengräben des Ersten Weltkriegs überlebt. Ich bin der festen Überzeugung, dass eine der größten Errungenschaften der E.U. darin besteht, dass sie ihre Mitglieder aus dem Konflikt in Europa herausgehalten hat.

There are a number of World War II historians I admire: Cornelius Ryan, Mark Stoler, Antony Beevor, to name a few. As for generals, there are those I admire as combat leaders and others I admire because they're great fun to write about.

My grandfather was a general in the Nationalist Chinese Air Force during World War II, and I grew up hearing the pilot stories and seeing pictures of him in uniform.

My grandmother was the greatest cook in the world. She could just go in there, the whole kitchen would look like a tornado hit it and then she'd come out with the best food. Then she'd sit at the table and she wouldn't eat!
