The Man Inside: Letters Home from World War II

In 1942, a young Army officer named Morton Sher began writing letters home to his family. Over the next three years, those letters chronicled his journey through World War II-from military training and combat in Europe to the uncertainty, humor, and humanity of daily life during wartime.More than fifty years later, Morty faced a different battle: Alzheimer's disease. As his memories slowly faded, his grandson discovered that the letters had preserved the voice, personality, and spirit of the man he had always known as "Popop."The Man Inside weaves together wartime correspondence, family history, and personal reflection to tell a story about memory, identity, and the enduring connections between generations. It is a reminder that even when memory is lost, the person within remains.
