Featured here are dramatic accounts of combat written immediately after the most ferocious battles American troops have ever faced; poignant expressions of love by homesick husbands and sweethearts; humorous anecdotes and gripes about insufferable conditions; thoughtful recollections on the nature of warfare; and perhaps most devastating, a startling number of last letters, heartfelt messages penned just hours before the sender was killed.
These historic letters capture the full fury and intensity of warfare, and they reveal in vivid detail what the servicemen and women of this nation have experienced and sacrificed on the front lines. War Letters is a lasting tribute to those who have fought for this country, and celebrates the enduring power and lyricism of personal letters.
Read by an all-star cast, including Joan Allen, Michael Beach, Tom Brokaw, Hope Davis, Robert Foxworth, Lukas Haas, Edward Herrmann, Rob Lowe, Julianna Margulies, Giovanni Ribisi, Campbell Scott, John Slattery, Eric Stoltz, David Strathairn, Noah Wyle, and Steve Zahn.

Critic reviews
"The power of these voices...is undeniable, and the sentiments and observations they record have a compelling immediacy." (Publishers Weekly)
"Carroll honors us all with his gift to the nation of the superb War Letters." (James Bradley )
In teaching "history" to my children my first priority is that it be real...that it grip them by the heart and allow them to see history as a living subject...to be learned from. My feeling and hope is that given this gift, an interest in history will be developed.
From now on, War Letters will be a benchmark from which all other history resources in our home will be measured...
I am just starting to listen to Grace Under Fire and find it to be equally as good, if not better than War Letters.
I will be purchasing every book/ audiobook by Andrew Carroll.
