Hundreds of novels have been written about young men coming of age in war. And millions of young men have, in fact, come of age in combat. This is the story of Joe Ted (Bud) Miller, as told by his daughter, based on the daily letters he wrote to his family in 1944 and 1945. Bud's journalistic skills show in his letters and fill his reports with a wealth of objective detail, as well as articulate reflections on his feelings about his experiences. Katherine I. Miller, a communication scholar, brings to her father's letters-which form the centerpiece of the book-her scholarly training in Williams-Ford Texas A&M University military history series ;no. 140.SoldiersUnited StatesBiographyWorld War, 1939-1945VeteransIllinoisBiographyWorld War, 1939-1945Personal narratives, AmericanElectronic books.SoldiersWorld War, 1939-1945VeteransWorld War, 1939-1945940.54/1273092BMiller Katherine1959-864897MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910453256203321War makes men of boys1930459UNINA
