Hardback. Condizione: New. While he served in the Army Corps of Engineers during World War II, William Sabel dutifully wrote home to his parents in Chicago every week. More than half a century later, five years' worth of correspondence is featured in Seeds of Hope: An Engineer's World War II Letters. Sabel was 25 years old, sing…le, and living on a poultry farm in Marshall County, Indiana, when he was drafted into military service in April 1941. As an officer in the Army Corps of Engineers he traveled overseas in January 1943 and served in the South Pacific for three years. When he returned home in February 1946, Sabel discovered that his mother had saved all of his letters, totaling about 300, in a box. In the early 1990s, when he became interested in computers, Sabel decided to compile all of his letters chronologically, a process that took about 14 months. This book details his various experiences, ranging from his unit's involvement in building hospitals and roads to interesting stories about crops such as watermelons and cucumbers for the hospital from seeds Sabel's parents had sent from home. Seed's of Hope: An Engineer's World War II Letters is funny, provocative, enlightening, and just a plain good read providing a glimpse behind the scenes of the war in the Pacific.

Hardcover. Condizione: Fine. Condizione sovraccoperta: fine. First Printing. 8vo, 233, [ii] pages, cloth Signed by Sabel, and dated 1999, under the portrait frontispiece. Sabel enlisted in April, 1941, and served three years as an officer in the Army Corps of Engineers in the Pacific. His 300 letters home offer a different view…of the war - not of heroics and battle, but of war's tedium, discomfort, and inefficiency. Bored but never boring, Sabel is frank in his criticism of those in command as he is in affectionately scolding his mother for sending such perishables as strawberries and chocolate to the tropics. A farmer from Marshall County, Indiana, Sabel also managed a farm on Kalumbangara to supply the hospital an Munda with fresh fruits and vegetables.
