That's How It Goes
Nick Ragone is the author of 4 books on presidential history and government, including his most recent, Presidential Leadership: 15 Decisions that Changed the Nation. That’s How it Goes is his first work of fiction. He’s the host of the popular Youtube Channel This Date in History with Nick Ragone, which has 200,000 subscribers and growing. He’s a graduate of Rutgers University and the Georgetown University Law Center.
A calm came over Robert Hickman as he was about to leap from his C-47 plane into the inky night sky over Normandy in the predawn hours of June 6, 1944. He just knew that his parachute would safely guide him to the tumultuous earth below.
Robert let his mind drift ever so briefly to his high school buddies, Sal and Murph, and their substitute teacher Miss Drury, who enlisted with him the day after Pearl Harbor. “Please, God, look after them” he said to nobody in particular in a barely audible whisper. Just two years earlier they had quit high school because their country needed them, and now their stories were unfolding to a most unexpected, even miraculous, denouement.
That’s How it Goes is the story of four ordinary Americans who became extraordinary, like the countless millions of others from their generation.
