Letters of Love, War and Jazz

This intimate story of a young couple's experiences during World War II, told through their nearly daily correspondence between the war-torn Pacific islands and the home front in Los Angeles, unfolds as an almost unfailingly candid, vividly detailed, distinctly vibrant and often humorous chronical not only of their daily lives, but of their hopes and dreams, frustrations and fears, and emotional highs and lows. It is also an evocative portrait of the times and places in which they lived and worked and of the events that shaped the period, providing a very personal perspective on this critical time in our nation's and the world's history.
