This is
a very unique and fascinating book. In an age of electronic communication, it
is easy to forget how critical the written letter was to millions of people
displaced by the ravages of war. World War 2 was witness to one of the largest
displacements of people, on a global scale; never before seen or imagined. The
authors have collected and studied the role that mail played in keeping
families connected, reuniting those loved ones pulled apart by conflict and how
the post actually reflected the one means by which, regardless of whose side
one was on, connections were maintained. A comprehensive and thoughtful work.
