Award-winning local author to discuss book
POLSON — “Havoc Red – Surviving the Alaska-Siberia Route, 1943” is Carmine “Margo” Mowbray’s newest work of historical fiction. She will be discussing it at the Lake County Republican Women’s monthly meeting, Monday, April 13 at noon at the Polson Rural Fire Hall on Regatta Road near the fairgrounds.
Called “an accurate historical fiction of a fascinating part of WWII” by Missoula historian and publisher Stan Cohen, it is a 230-page softcover about Lend-Lease pilots who flew fighters and bombers from Great Falls to Fairbanks during WWII.
During her research, Mowbray discovered a dark side of the operation, one that has consequences to this day. Mowbray will be signing copies of the book, set in 1943, the coldest winter on record.
Attendees are encouraged to bring brown bag lunches. The social time begins at 11:30 a.m. with the meeting beginning at noon.
