Miss You: The World War II Letters of Barbara Wooddall Taylor and Charles E. Taylor

By Barbara Wooddall Taylor and Charles E. Taylor

During World War II, the millions of letters American servicemen exchanged with their wives and sweethearts were a lifeline, a vital way of sustaining morale on both fronts. Intimate and poignant, Miss You offers a rich selection from the correspondence of one such couple, revealing their longings, affection, hopes, and fears and affording a privileged look at how ordinary people lived through the upheavals of the last century’s greatest conflict.

Reviews for Miss You

[seoulful · Rating: 3 out of 5 stars]

Two very typical members of the WWII generation who met, married, were separated while the husband was overseas and carried on an almost daily correspondence. Theirs was a very close relationship which was maintained not only through the war but up to the time of the book being published in 1990 (and no doubt beyond). Gives good WWII insights on the homefront and overseas.
