The letters written by Lt. Sidney Diamond to Estelle Spero, his
sweetheart, constitute, in the words of Andrew Carroll, editor of
the best-seller War Letters, "a riveting war-time account that is
also a compelling love story." Sid and 'Stelle had met and become
best friends and sweethearts in early adolescence, and the way
seemed clear to marriage - until Pearl Harbor. Sid left college to
enlist, but, determined to maintain the closeness of their
relationship despite time and distance, wrote almost every day,
describing his experiences, emphasizing his belief in his country,
and expressing his love for Estelle and his hopes for their future.
These letters, powerful, insightful, and moving, also reflect the
humor that was part of Sid's nature. He served in the South Pacific
as an officer, last, in Luzon, in the battle to take back the
Philippines. He received two commendations for action against the
enemy in the Solomon Islands, and the Silver Star for "his
indomitable courage, determination, and skill" in the fighting on
Luzon.
