ReviewsTom BrokawAndrew Carroll has given America a priceless treasure. These letters are intimate, deeply personal portraits of the courage, sacrifice, and sense of duty that made this country. they remind us that greatness is borne on the shoulders of the ordinary men and women who love their country and each other., John GlennAndrew Carroll has assembled a collection of previously unpublished letters that run the gamut of wartime emotion....An excellent compilation that I enjoyed reading very much -- and believe you will, too., Studs TerkelThese war letters are more deeply moving, more revelatory, and more powerful than any dispatch from the front. It's the truly felt history of what war is all about., Stephen E. AmbroseIn the sweep of history, the experience of the lone soldier is often lost, but in this breathtaking collection the individual voices of the men and women who have served this nation come to life with a power and an eloquence that is both gripping and unforgettable. I can think of no better way to understand the horrors of war than to read the words of those who have been caught in its grasp, and these extraordinary letters offer some of the most dramatic eyewitness accounts of war imaginable. Quite simply, this is one of the greatest, most riveting books of war letters I have ever read.
