In Letters from the Pacific, Russell Stroup offers readers the opportunity to see the effects of war from his unique perspective - as a chaplain on the front lines of the South Pacific theater. For the three years Stroup served in the military, he continually wrote home to his family in Virginia. Composed under harrowing combat conditions, yet filled with humor and personality, these letters convey his search for meaning and purpose in the midst of world war. Edited, annotated, and introduced by Richard Cartwright Austin, Stroup's letters provide the most probing insight into a combat chaplain's role currently available. --BOOK JACKET.,Russell Cartwright Stroup ; edited with an introduction by Richard Cartwright Austin.
