Summary
"World War II was coming to a close in Europe and Richard Carlton Haney was only four years old when a telegram arrived at his family's home in Janesville, Wisconsin. That moment, when Haney learned of his father's death, changed his and his mother's lives forever." "Haney, now a professional historian, explores the impact of war on an American family. He weaves together those memories with his parents' wartime letters and his mother's recollections to create a unique blend of history and memoir."--BOOK JACKET.
