About this product

Product Information

On December 7, 1941, when the Japanese were bombing Pearl Harbor, Tracy Sugarman was a young man studying to be an illustrator--and falling in love with a tawny-haired girl named June. But for Tracy, as for all Americans, everything changed that December dawn. Two years later, now married to June, Tracy was on a troopship bound for England, part of the massive Allied buildup for the liberation of Europe. On D-Day he landed on Utah Beach, one young ensign in the greatest military invasion in history. But Tracy Sugarman was not only a sailor. He was also an artist, who chronicled every aspect of his war in watercolors and sketches and in more than four hundred letters to his wife, who carefully saved everything her new husband sent her. Fifty years later, June Sugarman astonished her husband by showing him his long-forgotten pictures and words: lush watercolors and pen-and-ink drawings set down with breathtaking immediacy in the midst of war, and letters in which the young man poured out his feelings--about the terror and tedium of battle, his own ideals and hopes . . . and, always, his love for his wife. Here, selected from this treasure trove, are the drawings and watercolors that best portray the war Tracy Sugarman experienced. Interspersed throughout are excerpts of his loving and poignant letters home and, as the capstone of this extraordinary book, the single surviving letter from June to her husband. My War is a luminous, powerful account of a world at war--and a beautifully touching love story.

Reviews
"Tracy Sugarman's story of life, love, and war during World War II is a treasure--a beautifully drawn portrait of a young man's devotion to his wife, his duty, and the enduring lessons of that special time." --Tom Brokaw "In the entire course of World War II, Tracy Sugarman got shot at just once, and never fired at an enemy. But his is one of the most compelling accounts of the war I've ever read. He was a junior officer in the U.S. Navy, serving in England and then in landing craft at Utah Beach. His stories about what it was like for him--and for his crew, for the infantry and other soldiers, and for their commanders--are a picture into the past: sometimes stunning, sometimes sad, always authentic. And always full of insight about the American soldier and sailor--so very young, so far from home, so brave, so determined. Most of all, My War is a love story about a young couple caught up in the middle of the biggest conflict ever, doing their duty but never losing sight of their love. When I got to the last paragraph, I wept." --Stephen Ambrose, author of D-Day June 1, 1944--LST 491 June, Darling, Hope this gets out to you. It'll be the last word from me for a long time. DON'T WORRY. I'm feeling wonderfully well and absolutely squared away for anything that may come my way. For this wonderful peace of mind, I have you to thank, Junie. Please call folks and tell them I'm fine but can't write them. Bye for a little, angel. Remember I love you with all my heart always. Tracy
