BEHIND THE LINES: Revealing and Uncensored Letters from our War-Torn World :: General Military History :: Other Categories

Searing and rivetting collection of letters from people in conflict from the 18th century to today’s Iraq. Snapshot of the brutality and bravery of a world at war.

After his own house burned down, destroying precious documents, young American author Andrew Carroll founded the Legacy Project to retrieve and preserve written records that would otherwise have been destroyed. One result is this fascinating, wide-ranging and moving collection of personal letters written from the world’s war zones. Beginning with the 18th century Seven Years War and the U.S. War of Independence, taking in both world wars and coming right up to date with the conflict in Iraq, Carroll has found stories at once human, poignant, brave, tragic and utterly heart-breaking. Fromt exciting reports of battle from front-line combatants, to accounts of atrocities in Auschwitz, Carroll’s correspondents explore every emotion from fear to courage, loneliness, patriotism, anger, hope and humour in a searing snapshot of a world at war.
