Reviews
On Aug 31 2016, a reader said:
I have the letters that my Grandmother wrote to my Grandfather while he was overseas in WW II. In one letter Mamaw writes to him giving great reviews of this "masterpiece" as she described it. I am looking to buy a copy and will do so soon. All that I can offer is my Mamaw's review as an educated, well-read young woman, which she was at the time.
A must read. She said she couldn't pit it down!
