WORLD PREMIERE — SAVE THE DATE

For those of you in South Louisiana, the World Premiere for At First Light is tentatively in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, on Thursday and Friday, April 7-8, to coincide with the opening of the renovated LSU WWII Museum in the LSU Memorial Tower. There’s also a strong possibility of a book signing that weekend at the National WWII Museum in New Orleans. I’ll have more details in the March 1 Family Newsletter.

ENDORSEMENTS

I’m so blessed to have nearly 40 amazing endorsements for “At First Light.” Here are three of my favorites that I hope will pique your interest. More are posted here:

  • “This story is extraordinary: an almost forgotten hero, tough combat, tragic sacrifice, gripping aftermath, a marvelous horse, and an astonishing ending. Don’t miss reading this remarkable book. At First Light is a way for you to join me in remembering and honoring the story of our World War II heroes, those selfless Americans who put it all on the line downrange, day after difficult day, in crushing heat and numbing cold, in the toughest conditions, against the most challenging, resilient, often barbaric enemy to liberate Europe and to help safeguard our freedom and liberty here at home.”

 — Gen. David H. Petraeus, U.S. Army (Ret.) four-star general, former Director of the U.S. Central Intelligence Agency, and former Commander of U.S. Forces in Afghanistan

  • “As a graduate of West Point, an Army officer for five years, and the head men’s basketball coach at my alma mater and at Duke for the past forty-six seasons, I’ve been blessed to be a part of great teams. I recognize the commitment and discipline required to win at the highest level. These experiences leave me in awe of Phil Larimore and his servant leadership, sensational suffering, and stoic sacrifice. What a fantastic story about a leader whose courage on the battlefield deserves a standing ovation. I highly recommend At First Light.”

 — Mike Krzyzewski, Head Men’s Basketball Coach at Duke University and Naismith Hall of Fame member 

  • “I’ve known Walt Larimore for many years and have tremendous respect for him. He has always been a great storyteller, and the real-life account of his father’s experiences in World War II shared in his new book, At First Light, are riveting. This is a fascinating story of an American hero whose leadership and sacrifice are truly inspirational.”

 — Joe Gibbs, five-time NASCAR Cup Series champion (as team owner), three-time Super Bowl champion (as a coach), two-time NFL Coach of the Year, inductee into the NFL and NASCAR Halls of Fame, and bestselling author of Game Plan for Life and Game Plan for Loss
