Acknowledgement to W. B. Yeats: After publication of the first edition of God's Angry Man: The Incredible Journey of Private Joe Haan, it was brought to our attention by a reader that the poem on page 191 titled "Those That I Fight" was taken substantially from "An Irish Airman Foresees His Death" by W. B. Yeats. Joe had probably memorized the Yeats poem when he was riding freight trains before the war and recreated it in his war journal as he remembered it, with some modification for his circumstance at the time when he was guarding German prisoners in France in the fall of 1944.
