The first book of its kind, Operation Homecoming is the
result of a major initiative launched by the National
Endowment for the Arts to bring distinguished writers to
military bases and inspire U.S. Marines, soldiers, sailors,
and airmen and their families to record their wartime
experiences. Encouraged by such authors as Tom Clancy, Mark
Bowden, Bobbie Ann Mason, Tobias Wolff, Jeff Shaara, and
Marilyn Nelson, American military personnel and their loved
ones wrote candidly about what they saw, heard, and felt
while in Afghanistan and Iraq, as well as on the home front.
Taken together, these almost one hundred
never-before-published eyewitness accounts, private
journals, short stories, letters, and other personal
writings become a dramatic narrative that shows the human
side of warfare.
