Inscription reads: Oct 2006 I hop you enjoy this tribute to my father . It was good talking to You! Amory S. Contents include My Diary; Amory's Introduction; A Journal of Alexei Ureyvitch Somorupo; Epiphany; Addenda and Family Tree. Amory was born in Cambridge, MA November 26, 1930. He was a graduate of Phillips Academy, Andover MA and Harvard College. He earned a Master’s Degree from Georgetown University and served as an employee of the CIA. He received a Doctorate in Medicine from the University of Virginia School of Medicine. Twenty years after the end of the war, Amory unexpectedly received his father’s diary in the mail from an old flame. From this, letters, and correspondence from him that he had saved, and memories of his youth, he was able to put together this charming, brief biography, Diary of a Mad Russian. This sobriquet, “Mad Russian,” was affectionately given by Lieutenant Colonel Creighton W. Abrams, commander of the 37th Tank Battalion, 4th Armored Division. Abrams was likely referring to Sommaripa’s deep-seated hatred of Nazis. It was Abrams who pulled his lifeless body out from under his overturned tank. More
