Reviews
Copyright 1986 Reed Business Information, Inc.
Winston was a 32-year-old father of two when he was drafted into the U.S. Army in 1944. This insurance underwriter who had been forced to leave college during the Depression left a vivid firsthand account of his experience in training and as a combat medic in Europe where he served 170 days in action with the 100th Infantry Division. These letters to his wife retain their freshness and vitality, while offering a rare insight into the life of a family separated by war and a GI's view of the world in 1944-45. Winston hated the war and killing, yet had a great empathy for the combat soldier. He made light of his own deeds despite his wounds and award of the Bronze Star. Winston died in 1970. Highly recommended for academic and popular collections. George F. Scheck, Naval War Coll. Lib., Newport, R.I.

Orders usually ship within 2 business days. Expected shipping times for "Standard" orders is 4 to 14 business days and for "Expedited" orders is 3 to 5 business days. We do accept international orders, although shipment times may vary, usually from 3 to 6 weeks.
If you have any questions about our shipment times and policies, if you need a book faster, or if you would like to check the status of your order, please e-mail us.
Please note that we ship all "Standard" items via US Postal Service Media Mail and all "Expedited" items via US Postal Service Priority Mail.

We ship orders every day, Monday through Friday, (excluding Postal Service holidays) usually by 12PM.
