Additional information
by Max Houss (Author)
The Watchmaker's Son tells the personal story of Max Houss who wrote his memoir at the age of 96. The life of Max was, and remains, a life well-spent, and while this book attempts to do justice to his journey out of Nazi Germany, his arrival through Ellis Island, his military experience as a US soldier going back to Germany to fight for his new country, and his success as a businessman and provider for his family upon his return from WWII, the reality of his life cannot be captured by words alone. Mark Twain once said "Truth is stranger than fiction, but it is because Fiction is obliged to stick to possibilities; Truth isn't." The life of Max Houss cannot be described accurately in words, but this Memoir is an attempt by Max to capture his incredible life story.
