Response from the battlefield through the Letters that Made History

Discover the "Letters that Made History," the best-selling series presented to the Greek reading public by Archive Publications. A series that honors and celebrates a beloved habit of ours, letter writing. Letters from remarkable figures in history are thematically compiled and presented under the editorial supervision of Shaun Usher, the creator of the series.

In this book, you will find letters related to war and battle, from senders who have marked their history, such as Alexander Hamilton, General Sherman, Evelyn Waugh, Kurt Vonnegut, and many others. The defeated Cossacks mock the Sultan of the Ottoman Empire. A Black sergeant pleads with Abraham Lincoln to ensure that his pension receives the appropriate compensation for his duties. Mahatma Gandhi urges Adolf Hitler to turn back the tide of war. A suicide bomber in Iraq explains his motive to his family.

An ode to correspondence that narrates the battles that shaped our world, from the 1st century A.D. to the modern era.

"A letter can conceal the power to offer, even for a few moments, the necessary distraction from the scenes of slaughter and despair that men and women who fight face constantly and to uplift their morale, at a time when morale is vital for survival." - Shaun Usher
