About the Book

Karl Lindquist's memoir begins with his childhood on Nantucket Island, back when it was still a salty seaport. He went off-island for high school at Phillips Exeter Academy and left before graduation to enlist. Serving in the Infantry in France with Company G, 104th Infantry, 26th Division, Karl was a scout and then a Medic and earned a Bronze and a Silver Star. His service continued through VE Day in Czechoslovakia. Lindquist's story is a guileless, honest and colorful account of a singular American upbringing both at peace and in war.Youth Interrupted exemplifies one of The Greatest Generation's own, Karl R. Lindquist, soldier, citizen and patriot. "The soldier is the Army" was said by Gen. George S. Patton and the actions of PFC Lindquist are an emotional and fulfilling testimony to how America was victorious over the Nazi Axis powers in World War II. Every American born child is given the most valuable gift a person can receive, FREEDOM, and reading this magnificent chronological history of a boy of 18 turned man in 1943, confirms the reality of the sacrifice and commitment of what an American soldier named Lindquist from Nantucket gave for today's freedom, now shared by all."George Patton WatersGrandson, Gen. George S. Patton

Drafted into the army at age 18, he served as an infantryman in General Patton's 3rd Army. Surviving the battles of Lorraine, the Ardennes and the Battle of the Bulge, he was awarded the Bronze and Silver Stars for heroism.

After retiring, he and his wife spent summers in France. In 2011 the French government bestowed it's highest civilian honor on him, the Legion of Honor for his WWII service.
