Under Wraps:
Under Wraps: the wartime diary of foot soldier Jay Coffman, who served in the South Pacific throughout World War II. The diary is a compelling story of war, intermingled with moving vignettes of family and ‘the girl back home’. The book is a rare find since keeping a diary in WWII combat zones was a court martial offense ISBN 1-890905-052-6 333 pages softcover 6"x9" Price: $16.95 What others are saying: Being an eyewitness to history is leaving behind a legacy. In this case, Coffman has accomplished just that with his diary that is worth reading. RECOMMENDED. —History Media Reviews It’s an exceptional artifact from World War II. It offers a remarkable look at the life of a foot soldier. With uncanny style, the diary reflects the conflicting conditions that impacted Jay: a sense of alienation mixed with comradeship, a sense of adventure mixed with homesickness, and a sense of aggression mixed with his natural serenity. I was especially fond of Jay’s innocent observations about what would turn out to be critical events in the war before the outcome of each was clear. This story deserves to be told. —Literary Agent and Reviewer |
