Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

The Strange Ways Men Are Made is a memoir of love, loss, discipline, and the long road toward becoming whole.Frank J. Phillips was five years old when separation from his mother carried him from Harlem into institutional care and the ordered world of a convent. What followed was an extraordinary journey through displacement, rebellion, imprisonment, military service, education, leadership, fatherhood, devastating loss, and redemption.Phillips rose from an enlisted soldier to become an Army infantry officer, major, Pentagon spokesman, professor, and mentor. Yet this is not simply the story of professional achievement. It is an intimate examination of the people, places, hardships, and competing worlds that formed him-and of the conscious choices through which he eventually learned to form himself.Written with honesty, reflection, and hard-earned compassion, The Strange Ways Men Are Made explores masculinity, belonging, moral courage, grief, and the inheritance one generation leaves to another. It is the story of a man who discovered that what shapes us does not have to imprison us-and that even after profound loss, the road back home remains open.
