Survival of the Fittest -- New Book Chronicles One Man's Desire to Survive and Move Forward During the Years of the Great Depression and World War II and Beyond

GLENSIDE, Pa., Oct. 18, 2007 (PRIME NEWSWIRE) -- Many decades ago, Mitchell Furman went through the harshness of life as the world around him was filled with poverty, war and multiple crises. No matter how hard life was, his will to survive helped him prevail and ultimately he made a difference. His legacy is told for the first time ever with the release of the new book Land That I Love, authored by Mitchell Furman as told to Merrill Furman.

The text looks back at the hard life Furman lived through the Depression years and World War II (where he served in the Army and was awarded the Bronze Star and Combat Infantry Badge), to running a family business and his fifty-eight year marriage to his beloved wife Eleanor. Recalling his many escapades, and in his unique voice, Merrill Furman paints a vivid portrait of an unforgettable man who made many big differences not just for himself but also for others as well.
