DEAREST WIFE AND GIRLS provides a glimpse into the lives of the author's parents during World War II. The book is based on 124 love letters Pvt. Cisco sent to his wife, Mary Opal, from the time of his induction in August, 1944 and, while he served in Europe through 1945 in Gen. Patton's Third Army, the 11th Armored Division, 41st Cavalry. The letters reveal great insight into the young couple's lives during this difficult time for them and the U.S. The power of hope, faith and humor sustained Pvt. Cisco during the long months of combat and being away from his family. His letters always encouraged his wife to be positive and have faith that he would return safely to her and the "little girls." It is evident from the letters that he enjoyed hearing about news at home and what his family and friends were doing. The author provides interesting comments about what her mother, sister and she were doing back in Ohio while Pvt. Cisco was three thousand miles away, personally entangled in a world conflict. The author reveals some of the day combat command movements of the 11th Division through the Netherlands, Belgium, Luxembourg, France, Austria, Czechoslovakia and finally Germany, including liberating many concentration camps. After the war ended in Germany the letters reveal Pvt. Cisco's concerns about being redeployed to the war in the Pacific to defeat Japan and when he might be discharged from the military and return home. Also, to better understand references made in the letters, the author provides historical information on the battles occurring on the various war fronts, on the leaders and govenments of many countries and military personalities involved in this global crisis. The book contains a collection of the "THUNDERBOLT WAR NEWS" taken from the "11TH THUNDERBOLT PRESS." The news clippings are eye witness reports written by war correspondents imbedded with the 11th Division during the war. Also, there are actual "AFTER ACTION G-2 REPORTS" reporting intelligence information during combat and after the battles. But most importantly, this is a love story expressed in the soldier's letters to his wife. Through the letters the reader can feel Pvt. Cisco's emotions, anxieties, the longing for his wife and the home sickness he felt, missing his wife and young daughters, and the life he had known in America before he was drafted in the military to serve his country.

What would you write to your young wife when you enlist in the Army to fight the Nazis during World War II? This book tells that story. Bob Dalton wrote a series of almost daily letters home during his service from 1944-1946. This is not a book of combat exploits, but a true life story of what it meant to have a wife and baby at home while serving your country in WWII--and the burden it placed on GIs and their families. The letters frankly discuss the challenges of life because they were only intended to be read by his wife. We found this trove of letters along with hundreds of original photos that illustrate the book after our mother passed away in 2018. We felt that we should share their story. Each letter begins and ends with his love for his family that he left behind to fight. He shares his experiences in boot camp in South Carolina, the trip to the front, crossing the Rhine with Patton's Third Army, and then battling to the Czech border by war's end. His mission changed to demilitarization and denazification until the Russians occupied Saxony as part of East Germany. Then he spent a year as part of the Allied occupation forces in Frankfurt dealing with postwar reconstruction and the U.S. Army bureaucracy. The war changed our father, and reading these letters changed our image of him and the other members of the Greatest Generation.

A budding romance between two teenagers fresh out of high school from Worcester, Massachusetts, all documented in the letters they wrote between 1943-1946 while George served in the U.S. Army Air Corps during WW II. Thanks to Lottie's foresight to have George mail her letters back, for the majority of the letters, the reader gets both sides of their conversations. You will experience firsthand George and Lottie's hopes and dreams, along with their fair share of despair and loneliness from having to be apart during this tumultuous time of American history. Much transpires in the young authors’ lives during the timeframe of the letters and you cannot help but feel as if you've traveled back in time and are peering over the shoulders of George and Lottie as they write to each other. In addition, to further enhance the readers' experience, many photos, postcards, telegrams, etc., which were found with the letters have been included in the book, as well.

Tells the story of a young couple in love during World War II, and the difficulties they faced both at war and on the home front. We Are Going to Be Lucky tells the story of a first-generation Jewish American couple separated by war, captured in their own words. Lenny and Diana Miller were married just one year before America entered World War II. Deeply committed to social justice and bonded by love, both vowed to write to one another daily after Lenny enlisted in 1943. As Lenny made his way through basic training in Mississippi to the beaches of Normandy and eventually to the Battle of the Bulge, Diana struggled financially, giving up her job as a machinist to become a mother. Their contributions to the war effortLennys crucial missions as an Army scout and Dianas work in the Brooklyn Navy Yardare the backdrop to their daily correspondence, including insightful discussions of democracy, politics, and economic hardship. Faced with grueling conditions overseas, Lenny managed to preserve every letter his wife sent, mailing them back to her for safekeeping. The couples extraordinary letters, preserved in their entirety, reveal and reflect the excruciating personal sacrifices endured by both soldiers at war and their young families back home. After decades of gathering dust, their words have been carefully transcribed and thoughtfully edited and annotated by Elizabeth L. Fox, Lenny and Dianas daughter. This beautiful book reveals both the quotidian lives on the military and home front as well as big political issues of the day like the death of Mussolini and the fight against fascism. Throughout it all, the reader gets glimpses of American society through a first-generation Jewish American perspective as they comment on the mundane details of daily finances as well as looming issues like racial politics in the wartime United States. The result is a pure joy and a window into a lost world. David Shneer, author of Through Soviet Jewish Eyes: Photography, War, and the Holocaust At the heart of this fascinating and educational tale about a soldier and his wife during wartime is a wonderful love story. Lenny and Diana become relatable almost immediately. Their excitement at their experiencesthe eagerness with which they anticipate their few reunions, the battles he is in, the pregnancy and birth of their daughterdraws readers in and allows them to live through the era as ordinary people experienced it day in and day out. Richard Aquila, author of Home Front Soldier: The Story of a GI and His Italian American Family During World War II This is a truly remarkable story, contextualized just enough by the editor to provide the reader with a sufficient understanding of the history of the times without taking away the daily realities of a young couple making their way through letters and the occasional souvenir, till their final reunion. It pulls you in in such a way that you will not want to put the book down until the finish. Melissa Suzanne Fisher, author of Wall Street Women The correspondence of Lenny and Diana is a compelling account of the war though the eyes of an American soldier in Europe and his wife who stayed in the United States. The drama centers on the birth of their first child in America and Lennys increasingly dangerous war. Lenny was to go on to become an eminent scholar of John Milton, and these letters show the young scholar at work, struggling to obtain research materials while recovering from serious injuries sustained at the Battle of the Bulge. Gordon Campbell, University of Leicester Is there any genre of writing more immediate and soul-bearing than the love letter? In We Are Going to Be Lucky, Elizabeth L. Fox allows us inside the lives of one New York couple as they endure the challenges of living apart through World War IILenny from the battlefront and Diana at home in Brooklyn. From arduous training to the difficulties of factory work, from the hopefulness of pregnancy to a near-fatal injury and painful convalescence, this carefully edited collection of correspondence reveals the pain, sacrifice, and everyday strugglesand magnanimityof the Greatest Generation, and the universal beauty of human connection.
