Rough War

In "Rough War," follow the journey of Paul Eastman, a young P-40 fighter pilot from small-town Wisconsin, as he navigates the harrowing landscapes of combat in Assam and Burma during 1943. Drawing from his diary and letters, along with personal photos, author Walt Shiel presents a poignant narrative that explores the brutal realities of war, the bonds of camaraderie, and the lasting scars of combat that extend far beyond the battlefield. This compelling account not only highlights Eastman's transformation from innocence to fatalism but also addresses the enduring impact of war on veterans through a heart-wrenching lens.
