In Their Own Words 2 : More Letters from History

A second enticing collection of correspondence sent by and concerning those who took part in some of history's most momentous events - and those who made history on a smaller scale. From formal exchanges between heads of state, to a plea from the father of notorious criminals and a desperate request for help from the brother of a missing agent, these letters reveal the people behind the events to bring a new understanding of what happened and why.
