At First Light

In "At First Light," Second Lieutenant Phil Larimore recounts his remarkable journey through the final days of World War II, blending elements of bravery and resilience with moments of emotional depth. Growing up in 1930s Memphis with a remarkable skill for navigation and horsemanship, Phil faces the realities of war after Pearl Harbor, eventually becoming the youngest graduate from Officer Candidate School just before his 18th birthday. As he leads an Ammunition Pioneer Platoon on the front lines in Italy and beyond, his experiences in the heat of battle and the touching events of his homecoming reveal a profound testament to the human spirit.
