The Lost Soldier
Author: Chris J. Hartley
Publisher: Rowman & Littlefield
ISBN: 0811767647
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 350
Book Description
The Lost Soldier offers a perspective on World War II we don’t always get from histories and memoirs. Based on the letters home of Pete Lynn, the diary of his wife, Ruth, and meticulous research in primary and secondary sources, this book recounts the war of a married couple who represent so many married couples, so many soldiers, in World War II. The book tells the story of this couple, starting with their life in North Carolina and recounting how the war increasingly insinuated itself into the fabric of their lives, until Pete Lynn was drafted, after which the war became the essential fact of their life. Author Chris J. Hartley intricately weaves together all threads—soldier and wife, home front and army life, combat, love and loss, individual and army division—into an intimate, engaging narrative that is at once gripping military history and engaging social history.

Dearest Ruthy
Author: Joseph Portnoy
Publisher:
ISBN: 9780595674664
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 244
Book Description
When the ear-numbing thunder of artillery is suddenly silenced; the acrid smell of gunpowder blown away; the threat of death lessened; the wounded treated; and the dead removed; the weary soldier finds a safe shelter, lights a cigarette, and wants to talk. He does so by writing a letter to the one he loves most, sharing his fears and loneliness. But mostly, he tells of his love. Dearest Ruthy is a moving collection of love letters from author Joseph Portnoy to his wife, Ruth, during World War II. From his Atlantic crossing aboard the HMS Aquitania, to his months in England preparing for the invasion of France, to his eleven months of combat in Europe, Portnoy and Ruth faithfully wrote letters full of love, hope, and dreams. Other than a diary or a journal, the letter sent to a loved one from the battlefield revealed the most intimate thoughts and sentiments of the young soldier, the hidden truths of war which often escaped the censor's pen. Dearest Ruthy beautifully captures those emotions of a generation that Tom Brokaw appropriately called "The Greatest."
