loads of pictures, anecdotes from his earliest days - all in all a true joy of a book about a man who never spent Christmas with his family til he'd brought Christmas to our troops overseas.

Bob Hope's story of his long and storied career in show biz and, his many many USO show's for the troops is truly a great read! It IS very much like he's talking directly to you and, his continuous jokes are very entertaining while he's telling his stories. I dub him "The King of the Quips" for his great lines and, the great writers he kept employed to keep that crown on top of his English-born head of his. Overall, a wonderful story and great lessons in US history. God Bless Ya, Bob for all that you did for our troops over the decades and, for all Americans everywhere. Thanks for the memories and, for one very memorable read!
