girlfriend and star of The Girls Next Door
A spontaneous decision
at age twenty-one transformed small-town Oregon girl Holly Sue Cullen
into Holly Madison, Hugh Hefner’s #1 girlfriend. But like Alice’s
journey into Wonderland, after Holly plunged down the rabbit hole, what
seemed like a fairytale life inside the Playboy Mansion—including A-list

years—quickly devolved into an oppressive routine of strict rules,
manipulation, and battles with ambitious, backstabbing bunnies. Life
inside the notorious Mansion wasn’t a dream at all—and quickly became
her nightmare. After losing her identity, her sense of self-worth, and
her hope for the future, Holly found herself sitting alone in a bathtub
contemplating suicide.

“Cooper saw
more of the war than most junior officers, and he writes about it better
than almost anyone. . . . His stories are vivid, enlightening, full of
life—and of pain, sorrow, horror, and triumph.”
—STEPHEN E. AMBROSE
From his Foreword“In a down-to-earth style, Death Traps tells
the compelling story of one man’s assignment to the famous 3rd Armored
Division that spearheaded the American advance from Normandy into
Germany. Cooper served as an ordnance officer with the forward elements
and was responsible for coordinating the recovery and repair of damaged
American tanks. This was a dangerous job that often required him to
travel alone through enemy territory, and the author recalls his service
with pride, downplaying his role in the vast effort that kept the
American forces well equipped and supplied. . . . [Readers] will be left
with an indelible impression of the importance of the support troops
and how dependent combat forces were on them.”
