Hardcover. Condition: Very good. Dust Jacket Condition: Very good. Ed Aswad (Author photograph) (illustrator). xvi, 252, [4] pages. Illustrations. Dust jacket has slight wear and soiling. Inscribed by the author on the title page. The inscription reads 1-10-16 To: Steve Horn: Best wishes for a great 2016! Ronald G. Capalaces. Handwritten note related to this work laid in. In one moving excerpt, he described being sent home early from his elementary school, not knowing that he was about to learn the tragic news that his father, whom he never got a chance to know, had been killed fighting against the Nazis in North Africa in May 1943. In the book, he writes about how shortly afterwards, the family received a package containing a letter of condolence from President Franklin D. Roosevelt, a medal which he later learned was a Purple Heart, and his father's empty leather wallet. As Capalaces said, the book is a remembrance of living through a period when men left their families and loved ones to fight "a war they would not return from until it was won, or they were crippled or dead." As the author pointed out, those at the home front suffered the loss of their loved ones, and "no one was left untouched by this war." Capalaces also described a nostalgic time when mail and newspapers were delivered twice a day, when everything cost a lot less than nowadays, and when life seemed to be so much simpler, before all the new technology. He noted that his generation came of age between the 1940s and the 1960s, and he stated that his goal in writing the book was to try to define his generation. As he concluded, "it was not the greatest generation, but the one closest to it." WHEN ALL THE MEN WERE GONE--World War II and the Home Front--One Boy s Journey Through the War Years is a memoir of five years of my life growing up as a child during WW II. It s about a distant war and a home front neighborhood separated by miles and years--as time, fate, and human events play themselves out. When All the Men Were Gone is a salute to those of my generation, the ones who lived in the shadow of the Greatest Generation. It was our generation, those at the home front during WW II, that also suffered many losses; our loved ones; our innocence; our nurturing. We saw the images--the toll of human conflict and the horror of the atom bomb. We saw the ravages of hatred in the gaunt faces and hollowed spirits of concentration camp survivors. We saw giant holes filled with naked and dead bodies. We came of age between two powerful decades: The Forties and The Sixties. Our time to serve came with the Korean Conflict and for some the Vietnam War. My generation was called the quiet generation and the forgotten generation. Not too flattering and also not too accurate. I like to think of my generation as the little generation that could. It was my generation, at the home front, that found the courage and determination to pull together to help our service men and women conquer the evil sweeping across Europe and the Pacific. This book is but a small step toward helping to define our generation and staking out a claim for its legacy. This is a remembrance of our generation.not the greatest, but the one closest to it. This is about the struggle of life without men and its impact on those left behind. It is told through the eyes of a child as he lives through the war years. First Edition [stated], presumed first printing.
