A Daughter's Historic Biography of Her Father's World War II Experiences

In Red Wells, Author Sharon Wells Wagner collaborated with her remarkable father to tell the story of his WWII experiences as part of the elite Viking Battalion.

Berks County, PA (PRWEB) September 30, 2006 -- Debut author Sharon Wells Wagner’s historical biography Red Wells tells the story of her father, as he relives and remembers his World War II experiences in the 99th Infantry Battalion.

The 99th Infantry Battalion (Separate), or the Viking Battalion, was one of the most elite and special forces brought together during WWII -- and author Sharon Wells Wagner’s father was one of them. These were carefully chosen and highly trained men, and their mission was to invade and liberate Norway, where many of the men still had family. This Battalion’s legendary activities began in Cherbourg, where Red Wells came as a voluntary replacement, a highly trained infantry soldier. At the end of the war, Wells helped disarm and repatriate 350,000 German soldiers.

Red Wells’ stories are brimming with excitement and intrigue. Not only was he fired upon by the enemy, but he also guarded the Panama Canal with a sawed-off shotgun. Sharon Wells Wagner and her father wrote the book together. The result isn’t just an important historical story of the elite 99th Infantry Battalion (Separate). Red Wells is also a legacy to a remarkable man, told with love by his devoted daughter.

Red Wells is available for sale online at Amazon.com, Borders.com and through additional wholesale and retail channels worldwide.
