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.

In Fairburn, Georgia, when I was growing up, everyone knew them simply as CharlieandBarbara, one word—for they seemed almost uncannily close, a single unit of harmony, two parts of a whole. Now everyone who reads this extraordinary document of love in a time of war will feel the power of that closeness. Miss You is the quintessential American chronicle, as substantial and rich and enduring as the Southern earth. Read and cherish it—there are none of us who wouldn’t have chosen for ourselves such a love as this.
