Author Steve Snyder gave a book talk last night on his
recently published, award winning work, “Shot Down,” the story of the author’s
father, Howard Snyder, and the crew of the B-17 Susan Ruth, shot down over
Belgium in WWII.
Mr. Snyder recounted the fascinating story of the five out
of ten crew members of the Susan Ruth who survived the crash and were taken in
by Belgians who risked their lives to hide them from German soldiers.
As one recent reviewer noted “stories like the ones in Shot
Down revive the past, give it new life, and offer a link between the heroes of
yesterday and the men we now call “Grandpa.” Steve Snyder’s extensive research,
careful storytelling, and humane treatment of his subjects make Shot Down a
must-read for anyone with an interest in this gripping period of American history.”
