Whispers from an Empty Coffin

Excellent -Written in a unique style that was easy to read and it held your attention. Once I started reading, I couldn't put it down. It provided insight as to what a veteran actually had to endure - something most of us simply cannot understand.


A tribute to an American WWII hero

This book is first a tribute to an American WWII hero. It then abruptly switches to a detective story as the author searches for the hero's grave. The author's description of the search is so real, unpretentious, and down to earth that you feel you are there and a member of the family. Kathleen Belfiore Schuman talks to the reader as if she were standing in the room with him.

The book is very well documented. She includes actual scans of the original documents including the terrible telegram telling the family of the loss off their son. There is so much in the way of scans and/or verbatim transcripts that it would make a good reference book if only there were an index.

A family history is hard to write in such a way that it is interesting to outsiders but she pulled it off.

Thank you Kathleen for letting us share this story.

This book captivates you

Not only did Kathleen Belfiore Schuman honor the Schuman family with this wonderful tribute to Donald, I felt as though I was experiencing each dramatic occurance first hand. You can only image the countless hours of research that went into writing this book when you see the copies of journals, telegrams, letters, news articles, pictures, etc.

This book captivates you - you won't want to put it down.
This story would make a wonderful family war-time movie with reuniting a family torn apart by vindictiveness and war.







A Terrific Read!

Action, drama - you name it, this book's got it! A storyline that runs a full range of emotions, from sorrow and despair to triumph and joy. A definite must-read for all ages!

Great reading for anyone who loves history

A great book and a fantastic tribute to a World War II veteran. What I enjoyed most was that the author also goes to great lengths to show the behind the scenes back round of this american hero. Many books are written about history but this book tells the history of one of the individual soldiers. Anyone who enjoys WWII history would enjoy this. Great reading!

Donald Schuman - a rather ordinary sounding name, but this is no ordinary man. A descendant of German immigrants and growing up in rural South Dakota, Donald was an all-American teen when he joined the fight against the tyranny of Nazi Germany in WWII.

First-hand experiences of the horrors of war, in the end, pale in comparison to the many trials and tribulations that Donald would experience across an ominous and all-too-short lifetime. How many times must this war-worn hero overcome his own death - once, twice, more?

Whispers from an Empty Coffin is an emotionally captivating and historically thrilling true-life tale of an 'ordinary' man's extraordinary life and the many family, friends and foes that would inevitably steer the path of his life. An inspiring adventure that serves as an inspiration for generations to come and truly exemplifies the adage, "It's always darkest before the dawn".
