Publication Information
Andrew Carroll traveled to 35 countries to collect personal letters
for this book. Like Carroll's War Letters, Behind the
Lines presents the experience of warfare through the words of
U.S. and foreign troops and civilians. Unlike the previous book,
Behind the Lines is arranged not chronologically but by subject:
Love and Family; Combat; Humor; Civilians; and Aftermath.
'The result is captivating in its immediacy. Short head notes provide succinct context, but most speak for themselves.' - Publishers Weekly
