Praise for Your Forgotten Sons
โWhat a brilliant book! I couldnโt put this novel downโฆIt is a solid five-star read. An unputdownable accounting of innocence, greed, the horrors of war, and the selfishness and criminal behaviors of some who seek to profit off the misfortunes of others. Your Forgotten Sons should be a must-read for all lovers of fiction, especially WWII fiction. The tale was educational, provocative, enlightening, and so well done. I hope Anne Montgomery writes another tale such as this. Her books have found a place on my bookshelves.โ โ Virginia Dill Book Sirens
โSpectacular! One of the most personal books about WWII history that Iโve ever readโฆThe characters in this book are so well crafted that the reader feels like they know themโฆMy only regret is that it ended.โ 5 Stars โ Deacon Tom F, former USAF Lt Col., Amazon
โAlthough a defty crafted work of original fiction, โYour Forgotten Sonsโ by Anne Montgomery is inspired by a true story. An original and inherently interesting read from start to finish, โYour Forgotten Sonsโ will prove to be an immediate and enduringly appreciated pick.โ โ Midwest Book Review
โYour Forgotten Sonsโ by Anne Montgomery is a historical fiction novel that intricately explores the emotional turmoil of war, immersing readers in its richly crafted world and leaving a lasting impact with its nuanced characters and poignant storytelling.โ โ Chrysalis Brew Project
โThis was a quick, riveting read that really challenged me to think differently about our servicemen and women, especially those who take on the jobs that donโt get heroically depicted in the media or newsโฆI really highly recommend this book to anyone that is looking for a different take on American history. I left it with a newfound appreciation for the unsung heroes.โ โ Bekah C NetGalley
โThe story of Bud is tragic and evokes strong emotions, a sense of having lost a buddy in arms, a brother you knew and lovedโฆThe conclusion may not be what the reader expects, however, and the reveal is shocking. War is hell. 5 stars.โ โ Virginia Williams Rosepoint Publishing
โCertainly Montgomeryโs best book yet. Should be required reading for West Point Cadets and ROTC students, but more importantly mandatory reading for those of us that are casual observers of conflict. The book shifted my paradigm about the personal cost of war, and especially what it takes to clean up after a battle. Montgomery continues to be an outstanding story teller!โ โ Bill Clarkson Goodreads Reviewer
โThis is the truth. Itโs gritty and painful and bittersweet โ and true. When you think youโve read every perspective of WWII, along comes Bud to break your heart.โ โ Bridgett Siter Former Military Reporter
โAnne Montgomery writes a strong story and I was hooked from the first page. It had a great concept and I enjoyed that this was inspired by a true storyโฆIt was written perfectly and I was invested in the story. Anne Montgomery has a great writing style and left me wanting to read more.โ โ Kathryn McLeer NetGalley
