David W Levy: Sooner Doughboys Write Home, Gebunden

Klappentext

"In November 1918, a week before the armistice ending World War I, the president of the University of Oklahoma wrote to every student, former student, and member of the faculty who had served in the military during the war. He asked each of them to write him a letter describing his experiences and impressions. This book contains a selection of more than fifty of those letters. Together with volume editor David W. Levy's introduction and annotations, the letters offer insights into what this group of young men, most of them from farms and small Oklahoma towns, saw and felt as they were thrust into a strange and often dangerous new world"-- Provided by publisher.
