Voices from the Front: Letters Home from America's Military Family - Hardcover

Inhaltsangabe

Frank Schaeffer draws on his relationships with America's military families to gather a timely and powerful collection of writing from the soldiers in Iraq and Afghanistan. Like Keeping Faith and Faith of Our Sons, Voices from the Front bridges the divide between those who are in, or who have family members in the military, and the rest of us who can take that service for granted. It is a book about the intimately emotional and human side of military service. While Faith of Our Sons reflected this war through the homefront struggles of a quietly courageous community of families, Voices From the Front takes us directly to the often invisible front lines in Iraq and Afghanistan: from first deployment to patrols to combat to field hospitals and, in some cases, homecoming. As Schaeffer has written of a group he has come to think ofpolitics apartas the next greatest generation, "We need to know the men and women in combat better and to understand what they are going through. " Powerful, moving and undeniable, Voices from the Front tells the story of this war in the voices of the Americans who are livingand dyingin it every day.
