Join us for a presentation from John Armbruster on the inspiration for his book, followed by a book signing. Armbruster is a former journalist and has taught middle school and high school social studies courses since 1993. Tailspin is his first book. He lives outside of Viroqua, Wisconsin.

About Tailspin

During World War II, tail gunner Gene Moran fell four miles through the sky without a parachute and lived. Captured by the Germans, he survived a harrowing 18 months as a prisoner of war, including a 600-mile death march in 1945 across Central Europe. This is his story, and the story of Armbruster himself as he navigates his own trauma and loss.
