Sunrise, Sunset: An Immigrant's American Odyssey

By Louis G. Sarris

Book Overview

Louis Sarris lived the history of the United States during the 20th century. Coming to America as an immigrant in the 1920s, he endured the trials of assimilation during the Great Depression, served in combat in Europe during WWII, and eventually became a key figure in the State Department during the Vietnam War. In the process, he encountered historical figures such as Eleanor Roosevelt and John F. Kennedy, and served his adopted country through its darkest and most triumphant times. Written in the tradition of "Angela's Ashes" and "Unbroken," this memoir recounts Sarris's epic journey through war and peace to achieve the American Dream.
