GENERAL JIM GAVING WAS ONE OF THE FOREMOST COMBAT COMMANDERS OF WORLD WAR TWO.  HE WAS ALSO THE FATHER OF A YOUNG GIRL WHO WAS ONLY NINE YEARS OLD WHEN HE LEFT HOME, AND HE STAYED CONNECTED TO HER THROUGH THESE LETTERS.  THEY ARE TOUCHING AND HIGHLY PERSONAL, EVEN AS THEY GIVE US A REMARKABLE VIEW OF SOME OF THE CENTURY'S MOST MOMENTOUS EVENTS. WRITING FROM FOXHOLES AND AIRPLANES, MUDDY TENTS ADN CASTLES, HE WAS A TEACHER, HISTORIAN, STRATEGIST, AND LOVING FATHER.
