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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Janice Stevens\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1610350057\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781610350051\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Craven Street Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/01\/2011\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 244\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.36lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 10.00h x 7.00w x 0.90d","brand":"Janice Stevens","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44125013016831,"sku":"9781610350051","price":24.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_157b8d8e-e716-4e1d-b499-4b0abb381dad.jpg?v=1687440124","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/stories-of-service-volume-2-janice-stevens-9781610350051","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
