When the ear-numbing thunder of artillery is suddenly silenced; the
acrid smell of gunpowder blown away; the threat of death lessened;
the wounded treated; and the dead removed; the weary soldier finds
a safe shelter, lights a cigarette, and wants to talk. He does so
by writing a letter to the one he loves most, sharing his fears and
loneliness. But mostly, he tells of his love.
"Dearest Ruthy" is a moving collection of love letters from
author Joseph Portnoy to his wife, Ruth, during World War II. From
his Atlantic crossing aboard the HMS Aquitania, to his months in
England preparing for the invasion of France, to his eleven months
of combat in Europe, Portnoy and Ruth faithfully wrote letters full
of love, hope, and dreams.
Other than a diary or a journal, the letter sent to a loved one
from the battlefield revealed the most intimate thoughts and
sentiments of the young soldier, the hidden truths of war which
often escaped the censor's pen. "Dearest Ruthy" beautifully
captures those emotions of a generation that Tom Brokaw
appropriately called 'The Greatest."
