520 Letters From the Front Lines is a remarkable account of
the lives and experiences of Americans at war in Iraq and
Afghanistan. This collection of correspondence preserves
for future generations the experiences of men and women in
uniform and presents a unique perspective about what is
actually going on day-to-day in the tents, on the road,
and in the weeds in Iraq and Afghanistan. These letters
were written from the heart, and tell the truth about life
on the front lines (lonely, hot and dangerous), as well as
life on the home front (lonely, anxious and supportive).
Handwritten letters which, until the current conflict,
were the only source of communication home from the front
lines are being replaced by email and web logs or "blogs."
This book reminds us how important it is to preserve these
more ephemeral records of our nation's history. --Pub.
