While other collections of letters and memoirs from World War II
have dealt with upper-class individuals, officers, or
college-educated people, Home Front Soldier is the first to explore
the life of an ordinary, working-class, first-generation American.
This gripping story of a young solider, Philip L. Aquila, and his
Italian American family during the Second World War includes a
detailed introduction, providing historical context to the more
than 500 letters that this young sergeant wrote to his family back
home in Buffalo, New York.
Like an epistolary novel, the letters offer an intimate personal
history of how a large immigrant family with four sons in the
military coped with the daily traumas of World War II.
