Description: For three years Andrew Carroll traveled throughout the United ì States and around the world to seek out the most powerful and ì unforgettable letters ever written during U.S. wars.

From hand-written missives penned during the ì American Revolution to e-mails from Afghanistan and Iraq, Behind ì the Lines captures the full spectrum of emotions - exhilaration, ì fear, devotion, despair, courage, heartache, patriotism, rage, ì and even humor - expressed in times of war.
