A collection of letters to his young wife full of love and devotionBy RedlegAn exceptional account of the gradual growth of a young Ivy Leaguer put into a position of leadership that can mean life or death to those under his command.

Not five years after this great world warBy Elizabeth GreeneWith the end of WWII came the formation of the United Nations and the beginning of the Cold War. Not five years after this great world war; the US became involved in the Korean conflict. Brave men and women served our country to preserve the tenuous peace along the 38th parallel. This book provides a fascinating inside perspective of what one soldier saw and experienced during his tenure overseas. These letters read much like a soldier's private journal. They chronicle not only a husband's love and desire for his young bride; but also the daily life of an American soldier in Korea. The supporting video of actual footage bring the book alive.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful.

Tender letters written to a young bride reveal the heart of a soldier loyal to his wife; his country and his God. Each page serves as a reminder that our liberty has been bought at a precious price. After reading; I feel inspired by the bravery; courage and sacrifice of Bill MacIlvaine and other men and women who have left home and loved ones to serve our country and guard our freedom. I am profoundly grateful to all!
