Description:"One of the most unusual and insightful stories of a young American at war, and it has a particular significance for today." — from the Foreword by Walter J. Boyne.Paul Eastman was one of thousands of fighter pilots who served honorably, bravely, and with little fanfare during World War II. He did not end the war as a celebrated national hero.

Paul spent 20 months flying daily combat sorties in one of the most difficult environments of the war — the China-Burma-India Theater.Paul Eastman maintained a daily diary throughout the war, covering his life in the air and on the ground. Rough War is based on those diaries and the many letters he wrote to his wife. His letters professed his love, expressed his post-war hopes, documented his ongoing fears, and voiced his concerns for his wife and family stateside. Would he survive the war? What would he do afterward?Although the CBI has been labeled the "forgotten theater" of WW II, Paul Eastman's story helps ensure that the men who fought the air war over its unforgiving jungles and mountains will never be forgotten.Rough War is an important story that makes an equally important connection to the effects of war on the members of the US military today.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
