WORLD WAR II: A LEGACY OF LETTERS - One Soldiers Journey

A MEMORABLE TRIBUTE TO A FALLEN HERO This is a son's loving tribute to a father he never met. Captain Frederick wrote dozens of letters home during the war. Almost 60 years later, his son, Clinton Frederick, discovered the soiled, yellowed letters safely stored away in trunks. The book consists of those letters interlaced with the history of WWII in the South Pacific. Through the miraculous discovery of the letters, the author got to know his father. He felt his father's pride of accomplishment, his frustrations, and his love of travel. Through the letters, son Clinton could sense his father's inner feelings. The book is a tribute to a generation of young men who went off to fight a war they never wanted and especially to those who made the ultimate sacrifice in that war. I share Clinton Frederick's admiration for those men. I recommend the book, because as I read it, I felt the love of a son for his father and the son's longing for their lost relationship.
