This correspondence, most of which Capt. Frederick had written to his mother, chronicled from a most personal standpoint some of the major events that shaped the world. The letters also allowed Clinton Frederick, for the first time in his life, to know what his father was really like.
WWII - A Legacy of Letters, is a true story of love and war. In it, Frederick artfully weaves together his father's letters with historical information about some of the most important military campaigns of the war. History is too often simply a dry recitation of dates, events, and people. Frederick's book puts a very human face on the events surrounding the Pacific Theatre of World War II. Readers will find the author's discoveries about his father to be extraordinarily moving.
My three years of research culminated in a story that needed to be told. Many veterans of World War II are reluctant to talk about their experience because of the nightmares it might generate. One veteran I contacted said, "I remember the event, and it stirred so many memories I couldn't sleep for a week!" He subsequently sent me a diary he had secretly kept during the battle mentioned in Legacy of Letters. I was fascinated with the anecdotes' that I came across in my research, so I included them in my story.
