Letters from GreenlandL WWII Letters Home [1942-1944]

Résumé du livre

Letters from Greenland is a glimpse into what three years of serving in Greenland during WWII was like for a soldier away from home and family for the first time. Unable to write home about daily military life, due to censorship, Bruce filled his letters with his thoughts, feelings, memories, and dreams for the future. Cousins, Lindy and Dick Minnick, collaborated to transcribe these letters into a book complete with old family photos and descriptions to illustrate the people and events about which their uncle wrote. This is book one of a two-part memoir on the life of Bruce Morrill Minnick. Book two will chronicle the last thirty years of his life (through letters to his brother, John) in the rain forest of Belize, content to be a subsistence farmer in tropical splendor.
