This book is dedicated to Else Ausland,
who patiently relived World War II with me.
Also to the memory of my father and mother,
who lived through the war with me and gave
me so much love and moral support.

Before going further, perhaps it would be useful to
tell you a bit about myself.
I was born in LaCrosse, Wisconsin on July 14, 1920
and have spent much of my life on the move. My father
worked for a railroad, and we lived at various times
in Illinois, Minnesota, Missouri, and Texas. In twelve
years of schooling, I went to twelve different schools.
After the war years in the US Army (more on this later),
I spent four years at Princeton University. From there
I went into the Foreign Service, which took me to Germany,
Yugoslavia, Australia, Norway, and Switzerland.
In 1974, I retired from the Foreign Service and re-
turned to Oslo, where I live with Else, my Norwegian
wife. Here I have become first a writer and now a
publisher.
