Shifty's
War
By Marcus Brotherton
When he was a boy growing up in the remote mining town of Clinchco, Virginia, Shifty Powers's goal was to become the best rifle shot he could be. His father trained him to listen to the woods, to "see" without his eyes. Little did Shifty know his finely-tuned skills would one day save his life-and the lives of many of his friends.
Shifty's War is a tale of a soldier's blood-filled days fighting his way from the shores of France to the heartland of Germany, and the epic story of how one man's abilities as a sharpshooter, along with an engagingly unassuming personality, propelled him to a life greater than he could have ever imagined.

“This is one hell of a book. I really enjoyed it. Shifty Powers was my best friend, and this book has captured his voice exactly. It was just like I was talking to him." —Earl “One Lung” McClung, E Company, 506th PIR, 101st Airborne
“Marcus has completely captured the essence of my father in this book.
We are truly in awe of his genius. Throughout this book, you'll get to know
‘Shifty’ as a quiet, humble man who loved his family above anything
else, served his country with pride, and did not seek the limelight. It sought
him—much to his amazement.” — Margo (Powers) Johnson,
Shifty’s daughter
“With deep research and deft writing, Marcus Brotherton refuses to let the Band of Brothers go gentle into that good night. His words keep these men’s honorable legacy alive and well.” — Bob Welch, author of Easy Company Soldier and American Nightingale
“Shifty and I served together all throughout the war until I was wounded
just outside of Foy. He was a man of character, depth, and integrity. This
book captures his personality just as I knew him.” — Amos
“Buck” Taylor, E Company, 506th PIR, 101st Airborne
