About the author
JEFFREY BADGER is the author of Finding Granddad’s War, in which he tracked down and interviewed veterans from his grandfather’s World War II unit, the 978th Engineer Maintenance Company, as well as civilians in France, the Netherlands, and Germany who befriended them.
Badger won the Half Price Books Say Goodnight to Illiteracy children’s story contest. He holds degrees in mechanical engineering from the University of Texas at Austin, Pennsylvania State University, and Trinity College, Dublin, Ireland.
When he’s not writing, Badger draws on experience gained living in six states and five countries, having grown up in Dublin, California, Ogden, Utah, and Uvalde, Texas. Finding Granddad’s War is used as supplementary reading in American History courses at several universities.
Jeffrey lives in San Antonio, Texas.
