Beam Me Up, Scotty by Peter David, James Doohan
4.0
This is a good biography. Put together by regular Trek writer Peter David, from hours of interviews with Doohan, it is a breezy and engaging read. I enjoyed his coming of age and his time in the Canadian military the most. I knew that he lost his finger in WWII, storming Juno beach, but I didn't know everything around that event, and he tells it well and brought me alongside him during his time on the European front. I appreciated his frank honesty. He lived a good life, for the most part, and is wise enough to recognize and admit to times that he acted poorly or made an unwise choice. I would recommend this to any Star Trek fan, and to anyone interested in yet another perspective of a solider from WWII - this one is worth it.
