William A. Luke Chronicles Great Depression, WWII and Family in DEAR BOB

Roughly 16 million men valiantly served in World War II; only about 1 million of those veterans are alive today.

As members of the historical 'greatest generation' begin to perish, preserving their memory becomes essential.

"Dear Bob" is the newly published memoir of WWII veteran, William A. Luke. The book is comprised of letters that Luke wrote to his brother, Bob, throughout the course of a 20-year period.

"The letters offer a historic and unparalleled view of WWII, American history and the history of my family," Luke said. "By chronicling this period, I hope to preserve the memories of family, friends and fallen comrades. My wish is for everyone who reads the book to smile, remember their own life story and enjoy mine."

From comical hijinks to depression and despair, "Dear Bob" provides a candid view of American history told through the eyes of a close-knit military family.
