One of my favorite books on war history is Andrew Carroll’s War Letters. There is more to war than the politics of nations, and there is only so much that a map in the planning room can tell. To truly understand what war is like, we need to look at the not so ordinary lives of ordinary people living through it. Only then, can we truly grasp what a war is like.
I’ve talked about my favorite part of SWTOR questing being the letters you receive sometime after an event has taken place. To tell this week’s story, I present a collection of letters received over the course of my adventures.
