A lively, extremely readable, and unique work. Tubach draws on archival wartime correspondences by soldiers on the front lines to loved ones on their devastated home fronts. "German Voices" is a long-overdue cultural study and a must-read for any student and scholar of German history and cultural studies."--G.H. Hertling, University of Washington "A sensitive and thoughtful exploration. Tubach's use of personal interviews lends the narrative a deeply human touch. His ability to combine insight, empathy and objectivity make the book a fascinating and compelling read." - Bernat Rosner, co-author of "An Uncommon Friendship: From Opposite Sides of the Holocaust"
