Paul Fussell wrote this letter to Eugene B. Sledge on October 31, 1989, informing him that Oxford University Press was going to publish a paperback edition of Sledge's book, With the Old Breed at Peleliu and Okinawa, about his combat experiences in World War II. Fussell wanted Sledge to know that Oxford had asked him to write a new introduction for it, which Fussell was happy to do. Fussell was asked to provide the introduction to WTOB because he was a prominent military historian. Fussell and Sledge corresponded for many years. They felt they had much in common with their combat experiences in World War II and their writings about it. |
