Cold War Kid

Take a whimsical journey through postwar America with author Tom Hanley, from black-and-white TVs to nuns shooting invisible atomic energy rays from their eyes. From sleek jets and cars with big fins to our current upside-down culture.

Written from the heart, 'Cold War Kid' cuts through dry history to serve up a whimsical look at post-war America. From growing up as a military brat on Air Force Bases throughout the country to becoming a pilot, writer, artist and a sixty-something surfer in Hawaii, Tom Hanley pulls no punches when recounting his life experiences in a way that will leave readers with plenty to laugh about.

"The funniest memoir I have ever read." Cliff Carle, author and editor
