Soldiers and Battles Letters & Diaries   Between the Lines and Beyond Letters of a 101st Airborne Paratrooper by Guy C., Julia A. & K. Bradley Widden   ISBN Number: 157747141-7 Softcover     6 x 9     448 pages   Guy Whidden, II is a veteran 101st Airborne paratrooper. This book recounts his time served in World War II through letters written home to his mother. As the title suggests, Guy’s censored letters often forced his family to 'read between the lines' to figure out the many subtle messages he was sending. Through these letters and Guy’s narrative, we relive many of his experiences: Army training and the voyage to England; his historic jumps into Normandy on D-Day and into Holland during Operation Market Garden; and being seriously wounded by a German morter shell that killed three of his friends...nearly causing his own leg to be amputated. This book gives a realistic and yet light-hearted look at what Guy went through during that period of his life. But it does not stop there. Guy is still busy! An epilogue relates his activities since WWII including his “re-jump” into Normandy in 1994.   $24.95 Click photo to Enlarge   Add To Cart BACK
