Title: Offers the human side of war, and is poignant in tribute
Review: War Letters, begun after a project to preserve the writings of our servicemen overseas during the Second World War, here expands on that program very well. With letters from most American military conflicts, this offers insight into quite a few people in very different areans confronted with a need to connect with those they care about. In most cases, the fate of each writer is given, and provides further glimpses into the writers' lives. The exmaple of a 15-year-old who enlisted in WW2, then went to boot camp, and then to combat, is powerful, and not to be missed. This book is very helpful in my classroom as we prepare for veterans' visits, and would be worthwhile for anyone.
