Ronald Powers Explores Stories of Humility, Courage, and Patriotism in ONE MAN IN TEN MILLION

Approximately 90 percent of the men who served America in World War II came from the graduating classes of 1942 and 1943. Richard Powers was one of these men, who transformed from a citizen to a soldier.

Ronald Powers' new book, One Man in Ten Million, tells the story of his father, Richard Powers, a young Pennsylvanian man who joined in the 104th infantry regiment during World War II. Richard had no prior military training, but he worked hard in order to protect his country, not to gain badges or recognition.

Upon Powers' extensive research, he was concerned that many of the stories of World War II veterans would disappear forever. Powers studied dozens of books and first-hand accounts of the war, learning stories his father never told him. His book outlines the daring journey of a selfless generation who offered their all to keep their country safe. Combining history and personal accounts, readers follow Richard Powers' journey from his enlistment to his return home.
