Boyhood’s End is the remarkable true story of a young man finding his way through a changing culture and a world at war. From high school through his enlistment in the Army, from his experiences as a front-line combat infantryman in Patton’s Third Army during the Rhineland Campaign to his return home at end of World War II, this “memories and a memoir” provides readers with an intimate portrait of a personal journey through an epic time.  It combines history, cultural memories, and social commentary punctuated with more than a hundred of Coleman’s images and illustrations from that time.
