Letters from the Front, 1898-1945, first volume in the Voices of the Wisconsin Past Series, tells the stories of men and women from Wisconsin who served in the Spanish-American War, World War I, and World War II. It is a vivid social history of wartime as told by sixty-two men and women who took part in three foreign confilcts as the United States attained the status of a great world power. Most of them are "ordinary" people, uprooted from farms, factories, and offices, who took part in extraordinary events. The volume explores how war changed their lives and reveals the emotions they felt in uniform, in remote outposts, in combat, and in prison camps. For these citizen-soldiers, military service often represented their first real venture away from home, and the military itself constituted a foreign culture. Their letters provide a history of adaptation to military life; they also reflect the changes that occurred over the half-century encompassing these confilcts, an era of great technological innovation -- and one in which America's vision of itself also changed.
