According to the book description of Loud
and Clear, “Hank Rudzinski always wanted to be a hero. He finds Amy, a partner in his quest, and joins
the Army. From Pennsylvania to West Germany; from a Georgia Army Post to a Mississippi Air Force Base; from an Infantry Division
in Missouri to the deserts of Iraq in 1991- they realize that heroes are made of something different than rank or medals.
They also discover that great causes bring out the best but also the very worst of people. This novel pulls aside the curtain
to reveal the grandeur and grittiness of such pursuits. It is also a novel of love and hate; highlighting the lifelong permanence
of soul searing choices.”

who are raised in Pennsylvania; are exhorted to live with courage by their father; and take their natural bond for granted
as they encounter life´s challenges. This lasts through their adventurous high school years. Both have outsized ambition
and jocularly talk of ´ruling the world´: Tom chooses sociology and John chooses engineering as nearly opposite
approaches to their reach for greatness. Tom regards positively directing society as the highest good whereas John considers
creating wealth through technical achievement as the pinnacle of humanity.
