Synopsis
This is a unique war story, based on more than 350 letters that the author's father wrote to her mother from the front lines in Italy in 1944 and 1945. These are love letters, deeply intimate. While vividly recounting the brutal life of a combat soldier, they also reveal the intense connection between the author's mother and father. Through extensive quotes from the letters, the book conveys in powerful detail what he thought, felt, and experienced as a company commander in combat. Her letters do not survive, but his responses to her show the strength of their relationship. They write about mutual friends, the quotidian details of their lives, the weather, food, the war news. They tease each other. They send each other gifts and photos. They dream about life after the war. Sometimes they quarrel-he worries about money and chides her about her spending habits. She becomes frustrated over irregular and delayed mail and blames him for it. But every letter conveys his love for her, his aching for her, his sense of being with her despite the distance and the war. This is also the story of the war itself, of dangerous night patrols, German artillery, supplies coming to the front by mule, days and days with no sleep, dead and wounded soldiers, German war prisoners, and, finally, victory. This poignant juxtaposition of the personal and the historical, based on a rare quantity of first-hand material, is spellbinding and inspiring., This is a unique war story, based on more than 350 letters that the author's father wrote to her mother from the front lines in Italy in 1944 and 1945.

    The seller was very responsive and answered me on a timely matter. The product itself came in its packaging and was new, not used at all. The packaging was not beat up or anything, safely delivered to my mailbox. No mix ups and zero stress with delivery. The price for the product is completely understandable for the product. I really appreciate the seller and I am very happy to have purchased through this seller. Completely trustable!

    Leaving positive feedback because 1) item was packed well & arrived as described 2) seller did give partial refund when subsequent price dropped below org purchase price. 3) communication was quick However, there was a downside to this transaction -item listed as in-stock but ended up waiting nearly a month for them to get it from their distributer then ship it to me (bought June 29th, arrived around July 21). Auction said 12-15 days. Better clarity would have prevented lot of frustration
