These 72 highly individualized narratives of combat, military service, and the personal sacrifices of war--penned by ordinary San Joaquin Valley residents and buttressed with more than 100 personal photographs--bring commentaries from soldiers, sailors, airmen, marines, nurses, ambulance drivers, and civilians. In simple, direct, and authentic language, with stories both horrific and touching, \"\"Stories of Service: Volume 2\"\" perfectly illustrates the personal side of war.\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Janice Stevens","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48284369453307,"sku":"9781610350051","price":24.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0779\/3917\/9771\/files\/9781610350051.jpg?v=1772485391","url":"https:\/\/indiepubs.com\/products\/stories-of-service-volume-2-9781610350051","provider":"IndiePubs","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
