Book Description:

This is a slice of World War II history served up in letters to and from Charles R. Vogel of Milwaukee. Letters from his mother capture routines of life on the Homefront while his letters from training camp and the South Pacific document his frustrations, worries, and hopes. The letters cover his experiences with Army engineers who built runways while under enemy fire at Angaur and Okinawa, wildly celebrated the war's end, and, soon after, endured a deadly and destructive typhoon.
