Leave it to a world war to spawn a love story. Twenty-three year old Karl and nineteen year old Evie brimming with post-Great Depression enthusiasm watched their dreams vanish when Karl was drafted into the World War Two nightmare. His absence forced Evie to struggle with their handicapped infant son alone. Karl's transformation from civilian to soldier took Karl to stopovers in Wyoming, California, Ohio, and Virginia before he shipped out to England for his ordnance company's D-Day preparations. Fifteen months of his life were then spent on continental Europe as the Allies pummeled Nazi Germany to unconditional surrender. His war experiences changed Karl from a confident, but naive, young man into a hardened battle weary veteran. Lonely, Evie wrote letters of hope, worry, and anxiety. Karl wrote of his experiences during his exciting but mind numbing journey as if Evie were hunkered down next to him in a muddy foxhole with buzz bombs flying overhead. The two and a half year separation strained their marriage to the brink of disaster. Come read their story and letters as if you are sharing the foxhole with them.

The battle for Saipan is remembered as one of the bloodiest battles fought in the Pacific during World War II, and was a turning point on the road to the defeat of Japan. In this work, the survivors—including Pacific Islanders on whose land the Americans and Japanese fought their war—have the opportunity to tell their stories in their own words. The author offers an introduction to the volume and arranges the oral histories by location—Saipan, Yap and Tinian, Rota, Palau Islands, and Guam—in the first half, and by branch of service in the second half.

After the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor, millions of young American men were eager to join up and defend their country. William Swanson was among them. The View from My Foxhole tells William Swanson’s story of fighting in the jungles of Bougainville and Guam and the ash heap of Iwo Jima. Through it he maintains his sense of humor and thanks his lucky stars for every day he survives. From THE VIEW FROM MY FOXHOLE: We move past the torn bodies of our buddies, hoping and praying that we will be spared, yet knowing in our hearts that many will not. Fear is on me again—fear of death, of course—but I have found that it is relatively easy to resign oneself to death and, on occasion, even welcome the thing. It is really the violence, the pain, the suddenness, and unpredictability of events that tear our insides. We cannot be sure of anything—not the next step or the next second—and that is the real terror.
