Local Author Book Reading

Lubec author Charles Kniffen will read from “Fifty Years in a Foxhole,” a recently published memoir focusing on his combat experiences in Vietnam and life beyond, at the Library.   Signed copies of the book will be available for purchase.  Kniffen has produced an episodic account of the seven months he served in Vietnam. He and his platoon endured several major engagements and the author focuses on the fate of his fellow marines and attrition through action and “friendly fire.”
