This Business of Fighting:
A Human Face on WWII
A story based on a father’s letters home to his parents from World War II.
Years ago, Arnie Pritchard inherited the World War II army footlocker of his father, Anton (Tony) Pritchard. It turned out to contain hundreds of letters and other family papers from Tony’s service in the Army and in the United Nations’ refugee program in postwar Europe.
From these letters Arnie has created a story. “This Business of Fighting”, focused on Tony’s time in the front lines in Europe. It portrays a young man dealing with everything from raw fear to his role as a leader, to his exposure to a world both wider and more brutal than he had known.
