Letters Home: A Soldier's Legacy
Studienarbeit aus dem Jahr 2000 im Fachbereich Soziologie - Kultur, Technik und Volker, Note: 1,0, Technische Universitat Dresden (Institut fur Soziologie), Veranstaltung: Hauptseminar: Anthropologie und Anthropologiekritik, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Dass Arnold Gehlen der Philosophischen Anthropologie zuzurechnen ist, durfte allgemein bekannt sein; weniger jedoch dass auch die Psychoanalyse Sigmund Freuds Vorstellungen vom Wesen des Menschen und eine Weltanschauung enthalt. Diese wird in der vorliegenden Arbeit entfaltet, wobei der Gegensatz zwischen der unbedingten Kulturbedurftigkeit (Gehlen) vs. der latenten Kulturfeindlichkeit des Menschen(Freud)erkenntnisleitend fungiert.

An intimate look at a soldier
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 19 years ago
Letters Home- A Soldier's Legacy provides the reader with an inside look at the life of a soldier through the letters of one man. The battles themselves are not the focus here, rather, it is an account of how one man found the strength and courage to go on through numerous letters home to family and friends. From training, through the early campaigns in Africa through the invasion of Italy, the war unfolds in a the personal story of a single officer. To have read his letters is to have known him.
Possibly the most moving book I've ever read.

What a privilege to read this intelligent,courageous young soldier's letters home. It is a rare opportunity to take a first hand look at the heart, soul and mind of the young American soldier during World War II. Historically, the letters validate American spirit, intelligence and valor. Bill Roger's letters are a national treasure. They are direct evidence of our national courage, honor, heart and hope. I wish every American had a copy of this very special book
"poignant story..."
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 28 years ago
"[This] poignant story is that of so many young men whose lives ended far too soon on a battlefield. Bill Rogers' letters capture the essence of World War II and the families who were caught up in it." Marilyn Grant--Montana the Magazine of Western History
"reflections of a time and experience"
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 28 years ago
"Rogers' letters and story are reflections of a time and experience...[he] was far more inquisitive, sensitive, and willing to share his thoughts and emotions than the average GI of World War II.... [The book] exhibits a freshness and honesty that are appealing...the work flows so nicely." Timothy K. Nenninger--Reviewer, University of Oklahoma Press
