Description: "Voices From the Front puts us on the ground with those Americans who are living, and dying, in the reality of war, every day. Novelist Frank Schaeffer has gathered this collection of letters from American soldiers, sailors, airmen, and Marines currently serving in Iraq and Afghanistan. Gripping, moving, and undeniable, these are voices which bridge the divide between those who are in, or who have family members in, the military, and the rest of us."--BOOK JACKET.
