Harold (Harry) Rubin was born in Warren, Ohio, in 1943. He graduated from Youngstown University in 1965 with a business degree and set off to charge into the business world. By October Harry realized that there would be no job offers until his military service was satisfied. Drafted into the United States Army on Christmas Eve 1965, he had boots on the ground in Vietnam as an infantry paratrooper by August 1966. The things he saw, did, and learned there are the basis for his first novel. Now in his seventy-eighth year of life after a successful business career, when asked where he grew up, he always says Vietnam.
