SHOT DOWN ISBN: 978-0986076008 Full Page Ad For the first time, the full and complete Award Winners story of the B-17 Flying Fortress  Susan Ruth  is shared  in unbelievable detail. Author Steve Snyder’s story of his father, Lieutenant Howard Snyder, and the  Susan Ruth crew, provides in-depth details about many aspects of World War II few understand or know about. Written with immense detail, Steve Snyder has procured a fantastic piece of historical literature. No detail is left out as it follows the timeline both before the start of the war and after. The book is further brought to life by the plethora of pictures, documents, letters, and illustrations. The stories of ordinary citizens going to extraordinary measures, risking their lives to save others, are a beautiful testament to human nature. This book is a must read for anyone who loves books on history or WWII. Each month, the editors of TopShelf Magazine nominate up to six books from our current Book Spotlights to be considered for our coveted Editor’s Choice Award. A panel of judges (typically consisting of our CEO & Publisher, Keith A. Katsikas Jr., the EVP, Rebecca Katsikas, and our Lead Editor, Rosemary Fifield), carefully deliberate over the nominees and ultimately award the winning book the title of TopShelf Editor’s Choice. www.TopShelfMagazine.net
