Navigating Twentieth-Century America – Paul Doutrich Releases “The Many Adventures of Donnie Malone”

Paul Doutrich, an award-winning author and a professor emeritus of American history at York College, is excited to announce the release of his latest book, “The Many Adventures of Donnie Malone.” This compelling novel takes readers on a journey through the pivotal events that shaped the American twentieth century, all seen through the eyes of Donnie Malone.

The story begins with sixteen-year-old Donnie caught in the patriotic fervor of World War I. Enlisting in the U.S. Army, Donnie becomes a pilot during the perilous final days of the war. However, the stakes remain high for Donnie even after the war’s end. He navigates a treacherous post-war landscape, grappling with wealthy investors and powerful politicians who have their sights set on his flourishing air delivery business.

In a series of unpredictable twists, Donnie takes on various roles, from driving a cab for an ambitious mobster to toiling in dead-end jobs. A chance encounter with Eddie Rickenbacker, the American flying ace who taught him to fly, propels Donnie into new ventures and challenges.

Donnie’s journey continues through some of America’s most tumultuous periods. He befriends detainees in a Japanese internment camp during World War II, becomes involved in labor struggles, and evades McCarthy-era agents. By the Vietnam era, Donnie, having witnessed the ravages of war firsthand, helps young men avoid the draft by flying them to Canada.

TMADM is not just a historical novel; it’s a tribute to America’s enduring spirit and the people who shaped its history. This book is a must-read for anyone interested in the personal stories behind the major events of the twentieth century.

The Many Adventures of Donnie Malone will be available online for purchase.
