A good read

You won't be disappointed

The Sun In His Eyes

is a recommended read for those who appreciate biographies, historical narratives, adventure stories or factual accounts of the World War II Pacific Theatre.

It’s a life story inspired by true events, set against the backdrop of wartime in the former Dutch East Indies, now Indonesia and Japan. A history we shouldn’t forget. Claude also had a ton of fun, falling in love, doing awesome jobs, and going on incredible jungle expeditions in former Dutch New Guinea, now West Papua, an Indonesian Provence.

He made his own life story, with his own hands, using his diary, journals, and over a hundred photos.

A life, so extreme. From pure joy to abolute horror, from perfect harmony to complete turmoil, from thrilling adventure to total upheaval, and finally to ultimate peace and freedom.

Renée encourages everyone writing down stories from the past with memories and experiences of family and friends so they’re not lost. Always remembered, not kept secret. And… everyone can learn from it.

What an astonishing thing a book is.
