War Fronts, Home Fires

2023. By Joseph W. McQuaid. As a World War II newspaper correspondent, B.J. McQuaid covered American and British front lines from the frozen Aleutian Islands of Alaska, to the steaming jungles and seas of the South Pacific, at Tarawa and Guadalcanal and then to Europe from D-Day forward in France, Belgium, Holland, and Germany. Back in New Hampshire, Peg McQuaid, his wife, was keeping the Home Fires burning, providing for herself and their two small children. Theirs is a story of love, of sacrifice, and of hope.
