Todd Anton has been a U.S. History instructor for over 16 years, and his ability to work closely with his students and World War II veterans has earned him national recognition - for an extensive oral history collection involving combat veterans from WWI through the present. As a result of his nomination as VFW "Teacher of the Year", legendary author/historian Dr. Stephen E. Ambrose took Todd under his wing and encouraged him to achieve even more. Anton serves on the board of Trustees for the late Dr. Ambrose's National World War II Museum, and the museum has featured Todd as a speaker at a gala function in Washington DC honoring the members of Congress who served in World War II and at the premiere of Steven Spielberg's documentary on his father, Arnold Spielberg's squadron in W.W. II, called the Burma Bridge Busters, at Fox Studios in Los Angeles. Anton also serves as the Divisional Historian for his late father's World War II unit, the 70th Infantry Division-Trailblazers, and has written a history of the division's artillery units called Distant Thunder: The Field Artillery units of the 70th Infantry Division in World War II.

As a son of World War II/Korean War veteran, the late Wallace P. Anton, Todd has been inspired on a personal level to honor the "Greatest Generation." With a steady dose of Dodger baseball and stories of WWII, Wally Anton raised a son dedicated to preserving the stories of the men who served America in the time of its greatest need and also played Major League Baseball. Shortly before Wally's death on June 6 (D-Day) 2002, Todd and his father started on the path to remind America about baseball's great and heroic tradition in World War II. No Greater Love: Life Stories from the Men Who Saved Baseball is the culmination of that journey.

Anton's, No Greater Love: Life Stories from the Men Who Saved Baseball inspired FOX News Channel's War Stories with Oliver North to produce a show dedicated to Baseball and World War II veterans called From the Ballpark to the Battlefield: Baseball and World War II. Anton joined Boston Red Sox ace Curt Schilling and noted baseball historian Bill Nowlin as the advisors for this show.

Todd Anton, lives in Victorville, California with his wife Susan and their children Jamie and Jason, and continues to teach American History. No Greater Love is Todd's first book.
