Reviews
"From the American Revolution to Iraq, everything is here: the terror and exhilaration of bloody combat, love letters, funny letters, letters from civilians caught in the middle of war. Behind the Lines is worth savoring; you can dip into it at any page and find something fascinating."--Joseph L. Galloway, coauthor of We Were Soldiers Once...and Young and Triumph Without Victory: The History of the Persian Gulf War, "This book is absolutely majestic."--McKay Jenkins, author ofThe Last Ridge: The Epic Story of America's First Mountain Soldiers and the Assault on Hitler's Europe, "There are two vastly different ways of studying war. One has to do with the great story of history and of nations, the other with dying alone in a field hospital; with missing someone so much it aches; with wrestling down fear and shoring up courage; or enduring war's squalor and absurdity. Andrew Carroll studies the human side of war in this stirring, moving, and sometimes hilarious collection."--Mark Bowden, author of Black Hawk Down, "This book is more than a collection of newly discovered war letters. There is something deeper, richer, and more intense at work here. Each letter is extraordinary in its own right, but together they illuminate war as it is rarely seen. Most important, Behind the Lines is the result of Andrew Carroll's unprecedented trip around the world to seek out these gripping, insightful, and, in so many cases, breathtaking letters. This is a book born of great passion. This is a book with tremendous heart and soul."--James Bradley, author of Flags of Our Fathers and Flyboys, "There is nothing more powerful than words written when life as you know it hangs in the balance. From soldiers on the front lines writing to sweethearts and family to resistance fighters and so many others in the midst of war,Behind the Lineshas letters representing just about every race and many different cultures. This book is phenomenal and a must-read."--Yvonne Latty, author ofWe Were There: Voices of African American Veterans, from World War II to the War in Iraq, "In all my years of military service, I don't believe I have ever read a book that has moved me as profoundly as this one. While it is often the generals and military leaders who receive the limelight, Andrew Carroll's Behind the Lines reminds us that it is the individual troops in the field and their loved ones at home who most deserve our admiration and attention. I cannot recommend this book more highly."--Lieutenant General Claudia Kennedy, US Army (retired), the highest-ranking woman in the history of the army
