On June 6, 1944, Frederick Giesbert, assigned to the American army's 29th division, landed on bloody Omaha Beach, Normandy, an experience from which he never recovered. Three years later, Frederick had returned to his hometown of Chicago, married to a French girl. But when the seemingly happy couple moved to Normandy to make a home with their baby, something in Frederick snapped, and he turned cruel and violent. His son, Franz-Oliver, spent his childhood doing everything he could to defy his father. The American is a son's fiercely honest and emotionally gripping story of a search for paternal understanding and forgiveness.

American: A Memoir
This is a catharsis memoir for the author who, along with his mother, suffered beatings from his sadistic father.
The confessional gets sickening when he reveals every personal weird thing he's done or thought. The average person would be too ashamed; it has a self-destructive exhibitionism about it.
This memoir is front loaded. Interesting and shocking chapters up until the father's recollections of D-Day. But he runs out of things to say. The second half of the book is mostly life on the farm filler.
