Letters from Inside the Whale

Resuming the Conversation My Father and I Never Had . . . about His War

Beschreibung

When her father died in 1992, Lasley F. Gober believed he'd taken his true war story with him. Only years later would she find a thick packet of letters he'd written to his mother dated from early summer 1944 to April 1946, rich with stories from the Pacific front. Decades after the fact, the boy who went to war came to life again.
