Annotation

When Roland Regan and Frederick Mauriello went off to fightthe Germans in World War II, they packed cameras and notepaper and documented their experiences, Roland with photos, Frederick with letters to hisfamily. Roland's photos, developed after the war, never went through Armycensorship and show an honest firsthand view of the war from the eyes of anenlisted man. Frederick's letters show a young man's devotion to his family,his good-will, and his growing distrust of military authority. As a whole, thiscollection is a testimony to the courage, faith, and loyalty of all the men whoserved during World War II. These priceless documents, presented by their sons inthis book, offer readers an intimate glimpse at a unique aspect of the Americanexperience.
