Celebrate National Letter Writing Day with editor Sue Hodson as she discusses her latest book, a collection of letters from the then 21-year-old Los Angeles Times columnist Al Martinez to his bride during the Korean War.
Written from the unique perspective of an obviously gifted, professional writer at the beginning of his career, Martinez’s letters home capture his experiences eloquently and with depth of understanding as they express the dangers, hardships, fear, friendships, and even humor of life at the front.
