This was also true of his father’s time in the Air Force. Like most of his generation\, it was a rule not to talk about what he’d experienced in war. “You’re not getting any war stories from me\,” he’d say. Cleaning up the old family house the year before his father’s death\, Mansfield was surprised to find a short diary of the bombing missions he had flown. Some of the missions were harrowing. Mansfield began to fill in the details\, and to be surprised again\, this time by a history he thought he knew. \nI Will Tell No War Stories is about undoing the forgetting in a family and in a society that has hidden the horrors and cataclysm of a world at war. Some part of that forgetting was necessary for the veterans\, otherwise how could they come home\, how could they find peace? \nAbout the Author \nHoward Mansfield is the author of 13 books\, including The Sam Ax\, Twice\, In the Memory House\, Turn and Jump\, Chasing Eden\, and\, most recently\, I Will Tell No War Stories. In 2023\, his books were honored with the Ruth & James Ewing Arts Awards for Literary Arts. \nMasfield’s work has been honored with a Gold Medal for Commentary for City and Regional Magazines\, a Silver medal from the Independent Publisher Book Awards\, and as a Feature Story Finalist in the National City and Regional Magazine Awards. He received an honorary Doctor of Humane Letters from Franklin Pierce University.
