About the Book
The Life and Times of Larry Williams is a memoir compiled from tapes, written stories, letters, and personal photographs, dutifully collected by Lawrence's daughter, Pam, as a legacy with which to remember her beloved father.
Born 1918, Lawrence saw great changes throughout his life within the United States: from the Great Depression, to World War II, and into the Cold War. Throughout his time in the military, Lawrence was able to travel across the world. He participated in a Top Secret mission while stationed in Iran during WWII, during which he headed up a group of men to rescue American flyers who had bombed Japan, crash landed, were interned in Russia, and then put on a train for "somewhere near the Caspian Sea", where the drop would take place.
Lawrence also recounts his amazing adventures in the Holy Land, touring many biblical and historical locations, providing the reader and his family with an extremely personal insight into these awe-inspiring sights.
