The Tank Man's Son: A Memoir | D. R. Jacobsen, Mark Bouman
1 post | 1 read
Mark Bouman recounts the events of his childhood at the hands of his larger-than-life, Neo-Nazi father in brilliant, startling detail in this memoir. From adventure-filled days complete with real-life war games, artillery fire, and tank races to terror-filled nights marked by vicious tirades, brutal beatings, and psychological torture, Mark paints a chilling portrait of family life that is at once whimsical and horrific, all building to a shocking climax that challenges even the broadest boundaries of love and forgiveness.

Mark talks of his if childhood and the things he faced growing up and how it impacted him well into adulthood. The memoir finishes with a wonderful account of Mark and his father reconciling and Mark expressing his forgiveness towards his father.

I almost stopped reading this book a few chapters in.. I'm glad I didn't.
