It is based on our three great wars- the Revolution, The Civil War, and the First World War- mainly as set down by the soldier himself in letters and diaries. These wars brought jubilation to the soldier, then demobilization, and finally forgotten in a wave of pacifism. The WWII soldiers are coming home soon and it is time to begin thinking about how they will be treated and remembered on their repatriation. A clean very presentable copy in a Brodart mylar jacket.
