Andrew Carroll spent three years traveling throughout the United
States and around the world to seek out the most powerful and
unforgettable letters ever written during American wars. Behind the
Lines is the result of that extraordinary trip and represents the
first book of its kind: a dramatic, intimate, and revealing look at
warfare as seen through the personal correspondence of US and
foreign troops and civilians who have experienced major conflicts
firsthand. From handwritten missives penned during the American
Revolution to e-mails from Afghanistan and Iraq, Behind the Lines
captures the full spectrum of emotions -- exhilaration, fear,
devotion, despair, courage, heartache, patriotism, rage, and even
humor -- expressed in times of war.
