This is a remarkable account of the lives and experiences of Americans at War in Iraq and Afghanistan. War letters have long served scholars as a rich source of material when researching the history of our nation, and this collection of letters, e-mails and blogs preserves for future generations the day-to-day lives and observations of a small group of remarkable men and women in uniform. Hand-written letters, which were, until the current conflict, the only source of communication home from the frontlines, are being replaced by e-mail -- and in some cases, by a web log or 'blog' -- and this book will also serve as a reminder of how important it is that we preserve these more ephemeral records.
