Books like Cronkite's War: His World War II Letters Home

I started this book as a hardcover I happened to see in the library. So I read the first 100 pp in one format. Then I borrowed the audio copy and listened to it today on my phone (actually mostly in the car now that I have a car that will broadcast from my phone). Made the miles fly by today on my drive home from North Carolina. Actually some of it I re-read since I couldn't really remember where I left off. Basically this book is made up of letters written by Walter Cronkite, UP reporter in England during WWII, to his wife, Betsy. I love all the references to Judy, their cocker spaniel. I am hlad I saw the hardcover of this book in that it showed what a cutey that Judy really was. Betsy looked all right, too. Half of the time Cronkite is trying to get his wife over to England to join him. Then he started trying to get home leave to come home to see her and was told he was too valuable. He rode in bombers, gliders, etc., going in to dangerous situations. I think they said there was a ratio of 1 out of every 11 corresponfents were casualties (killed/injured) so they tried to limit people going into battle areas. Many did but Cronkite was stuck back at the desk coordinating the reports. Feeling sorry for himself because he was left out of the action. And, of course, this is just what he told his wife. The book does at times compare what he says here with what he later said in A Reporter's Life which were not necessarily exactly the same thing. The editors here, one of whom is Walter's grandson, go with the letters for thry were written at the time things were happening, not years later with the benefit of hindsight.I found some of these letters very beautiful.
