Produktbeschreibung

A collection of love letters and illustrations penned in a Korean War bunker Long before he was a professional artist and cartoonist, Robert Larsen was serving his country. While studying art at Yale, he was called into action as a member of the National Guard during the Korean War and would ultimately lead a mortar platoon at the 38th parallel. While stationed there, he penned nearly one hundred and fifty letters to his beloved wife back home in the United States. In With Love, From the 38th Parallel, Robert's son Steven Larsen has compiled his father's wartime correspondence to relate not only a love story but also a unique perspective on life during the Korean War. Featuring Robert's accompanying drawings and dozens of photographs, the letters offer valuable insight on army life and the experience of combat, specifically what it was like living in a firing bunker on the front lines. A valuable contribution to American military history, With Love, From the 38th Parallel is the perfect read for any war buff or romantic.
