“Letters to Lee reads like the best of epic Hollywood films—glamorous,
thrilling, poignant and agonizingly real. A stellar read!”
“What a delightful book about a war hero, his love for his wife, and his life as an
officer during WWII. Thoroughly enjoyable!”—Congressman Dan Miller
Two years after General Edmundson’s death in
2001, his daughter Celia discovered a trunk of
his letters and was particularly fascinated with
the correspondence between her father and
mother, Lee. This very personal story is told
through chronological vignettes, letters, and
newspaper and magazine articles of the period. The vignettes were written in
2000; the letters begin in 1939 in the beautiful Territory of Hawaii. The two are
interwoven and provide detailed descriptions of the conditions both before and
after the U.S. entry into the war. Correspondents from the United Press and
Newsweek who accompanied Edmundson on combat missions enrich the story.
Letters to Lee is a first person account of two of the heroes of World War II and of
the love that they shared across the years and miles. They lived their lives with
integrity and courage, one example of this great generation and this incredible
period in time.
