"This book takes a look at the soldiers of World War II, in particular through the correspondence they sent home during the war. It also gives a year-by-year history of the war, and what was going on in the country during that time . . . [an] interesting way to learn about this period of history."

"Most of the messages on these actual postcards are simple, but that does not mean that they did not have a profound impact on the recipients. The images on the postcards depict scenes of military equipment to the base where the soldier was stationed to cartoons lampooning military life. It was a very serious time [in World War II], where the future direction of the world was at stake. Yet, people still found time to inject some simple humor and heartfelt feelings into their brief communications."
