"He was born and raised in a land that championed the worst evil ever seen on this planet. He was fortunate to flee to a land of the free and to serve proudly in its army, and then to the land of his ancestors - the land that G-d had promised to His people as an eternal inheritance. His duty would be to fight for the rest of his life for its continued existence as a sovereign state." Joe Alster's personal memoirs record idyllic beginnings in Cologne, Germany to his escape to Holland following Kristallnact, life in America including service in the U.S. Army to daring escapades with Rabbi Meir Kahane and the Jewish Defense league, the search for Mengele, and his move to Isreal where he continues his activism against injustice. Since the quiet and unobserved life has never been enough for Alster, he unfolds his exciting story in a highly emotional and, at times, deeply philosophical stream of consciousness.
