About the Author: Dr. Elaine Makas, Ph.D.
With a distinguished career spanning more than forty years as a professor, teacher, administrator, and coach, Dr. Elaine Makas has dedicated her life to shaping minds and nurturing the spirit of learning. Now, she draws from both her professional expertise and her personal history, bringing to light the extraordinary story of her own father in a work that honors family, sacrifice, and the lessons carved from the crucible of war.
Featured Book: A Young Man on the Front Line: Lessons of War
This heartfelt memoir invites readers to journey alongside U.S. Army Sergeant Chris Makas during the Southern Invasion of Germany in 1944—a period marked by both harrowing adversity and profound courage. Through vivid storytelling, Dr. Makas explores not only the hardship and resilience forged on the battlefield, but also the enduring bonds of family and the wisdom that emerges from struggle.
Each chapter of A Young Man on the Front Line: Lessons of War is enriched with “Lessons of War”—thought-provoking reflections and study questions that invite deeper discussion and understanding. Historical maps and evocative photographs further immerse the reader, making this book an invaluable resource for history enthusiasts, students, and anyone moved by stories of triumph, loss, and hope.
