About the Book

The Girl Watchers Club: Lessons from the Battlefields of Life

Romance: It used to be that if you were lucky you'd get a kiss from a girl on the first date. Now guys jump into the sack with girls in the first ten minutes. They're gonna learn: there's twenty-four hours in a day, and sex takes very little time.

Mortality: Some people today seem to have this idea that dying is just another problem that can be licked ... What matters is feeling you've lived your life well. That makes dying a whole lot easier.

Moe Turner, a mathematician who worked on the H-bomb; Boyd Huff, a history professor and survivor of the Nazi prisoner camps; and Gene Cooper, an electrical engineer and the emotional center of the three men, belong to an extraordinary group -- the Girl Watchers Club. For nearly four decades, these World War II veterans have gotten together every week to reflect on their lives and the state of the world.

Written by Moe's son-in-law, author Harry Stein, The Girl Watchers Club is a fly-on-the-wall account of these men's conversations that reveal their tragedies and triumphs, their imperfections and eccentricities, and most important, how to maintain courage and honor even as the world changes around you.
