War Years and the Willard Years : A Memoir of Dr. William Kauffman

"Include an Introduction to the book followed by 18 journals kept by Dr. Kauffman during World War II. He served as an Army physician on board troopships. One tour took him around the world; on one tour he participated briefly in the invasion of Sicily. Dr. Kauffman observed the world around him both on board ship and in foreign ports. The journals were written to his wife and reflect his longing to be home. Each journal is introduced with context relating to the war and Dr. Kauffman's personal life, such as the birth of his son during his first tour of duty. The final 25 pages of the book reveal Dr. Kauffman's uniqueness in the words of his patients, colleagues, and friends, with brief introductory remarks for each section. There are 11 pages of photographs and a monograph about his wife, Bettie Kerr Kauffman."Kauffman, Nancy is the author of 'War Years and the Willard Years : A Memoir of Dr. William Kauffman', published 2003 under ISBN 9780974201504 and ISBN 0974201502.
