The title tells you exactly what this book is and it fulfills that expectation and more. My only complaint ( and it petty on my part, I know ) is that there are people mentioned over and over again and we, as the reader, never get to know them. It is understandable since the author does know them and wouldn't feel the need to recap his relationship in his letters. I also understand why there aren't responses from the wife he is writing to but it would have been nice. As it is, you get a one sided conversation from the front lines. Very interesting into you are at all into history of that period.
