| From 1939 to 1945, the farming community of Clarksburg, Ohio sent 222 of its sons and daughters to war: 1 in every 5 of its residents. From Somewhere in France is a one-of-a-kind collection of letters written by these men and women, stitched together chronologically and grouped into common themes shared with family and friends. The work includes nearly 200 letters from 70 individuals taking readers on parallel journeys through training, to combat and back home to Ohio. Experience first person accounts of camp life in the states; bombing missions over Europe; battlefield operations from Normandy to Okinawa; letters from POW camps; an eyewitness account of the retaking of Corregidor, and personal reactions to the Holocaust and the atomic destruction of Hiroshima. You have read in-depth histories of large units and entire armies during the war, as well as countless individual autobiographies of wartime tales. Now, experience the war from the unique perspective of one village. |
