Read industry reviews of Dad’s World War II novels, A Chance Kill and The Slightest Chance, at paulletters.com. Available on Kindle, as well as in paperback. Dad’s first wartime novel, A Chance Kill, is a love-story/thriller based on real events in Poland, Paris, London and Prague. The Slightest Chance follows the remarkable true story of the only escape from Japanese imprisonment by a Western woman during World War II.

Here are some questions to see if you were listening:

  2. Which small country did Austria-Hungary declare war on first?
  3. Why did Russia join the war?
  4. Why did Germany join the war?
  5. How old was the youngest British soldier?
  6. Why did some people actually want to go to fight in the First World War?
