Focusing on the experiences of a working-class, first-generation American, this collection presents the poignant letters of Sergeant Philip L. Aquila, who wrote to his Italian American family during World War II. Through over 500 letters, the book reveals the struggles of a large immigrant family coping with the war's daily challenges. It addresses broader themes in American social history, including family dynamics, gender relations, and immigration, while also enriching the narrative of military history by detailing life for soldiers stationed in the U.S. during the conflict.
