A scion of a Midwestern heiress reveals his World War II tour of duty combat engagements that earned him recognition as a highly decorated officer. Gardner Botsford's A Life of Privilege, Mostly tells the fascinating and humorous story of his WWII experiences, from his assignment to the infantry due to a paperwork error to a fearful trans-Atlantic crossing on the Queen Mary, to landing under heavy fire on Omaha Beach and the Liberation of Paris. After the war, he began a distinguished literary career as a long-time editor at the New Yorker, and chronicles the magazine's rise and influence on postwar American culture with wit and grace.
