About This Item
Lincoln / London: University of Nebraska Press, 2006. Unusual account of an ordinary soldier's experience of war, as recorded in over 100 letters written to his fiancée while serving with the 42nd 'Rainbow' Division (117th Engineering Regiment), at the Marne, Saint-Mihiel, and Meuse-Argonne among others. Snead contextualizes the letters, generalizing them to apply to the average experience of American soldiers fighting in a foreign war. Hardcover, black cloth, gilt titling. Light wear to book & jacket, near fine. Text clean; xiii, blank, 199 pages + list of other titles in the publisher's Studies in War, Society, and the Military series. First Edition. Hard Cover. Very Good/Very Good. Octavo.
