Frontline Families

Studies of military conflicts are often reduced to numbers of casualties and battlefield maneuvers. But anyone who has a loved one who has served in the armed forces knows there are innumerable personal accounts that are never printed in books or reported in the news. These stories don't only come from the frontlines but soldiers' families as well. This absorbing series relates the course of several famous wars, from the American Revolution to the War in Afghanistan, but also highlights the daily experiences of soldiers and those back home. Readers are provided with insight into the far-reaching effects of military action.
