An author discovers his father's experience in World War II

A long-hidden trunk holds the answers to a lifetime of questions

A true story of love and war

In 2002, Clinton Frederick returned to his grandparents' old house in Laurel Springs, New Jersey, for a family wedding. In the attic, just as he'd remembered from his childhood, were Japanese swords, parachutes, and other memorabilia from World War II. In a musty old trunk, tucked back under the rafters, he discovered more than a hundred letters written by his father, Captain George Frederick. These letters, most of which Capt. Frederick had written to his mother, chronicled from a personal standpoint many of the major events that shaped the world. But most of all, the letters led Clinton to know his father and are testimony to his character.

In WWII - A Legacy of Letters, Clinton Frederick artfully weaves together his father's letters with fascinating historical information about some of the most important military campaigns of the war. History too often is simply a dry recitation of dates, events, and people. Frederick's book puts a very human face on the events surrounding the Pacific Theatre of World War II as his father, a pilot assigned to ground forces, battles through New Guinea and into the Admiralty Islands.

WWII - A Legacy of Letters (ISBN 978-0-9778493-0-7, non-fiction), published by Zonicom Press, is scheduled for release in 2006. The book will be available through Ingram, Baker & Taylor and Amazon.com. To request a review copy and/or to schedule an interview with Clinton Frederick, please contact Linda Radke at Five Star Publications.
