 Brendan M. Greeley Jr.In The Two Thousand Yard Stare, Greeley has collected virtually all of El Paso artist and writer Tom Lea's firsthand written accounts of his World War II assignments as a painter for Life magazine, including a previously unpublished diary and letters to fellow Texas writer J. Frank Dobie, along with Lea's powerful sketches and unforgettable paintings. Greeley places them in context, along with photographs and informative details on the people, places, and wartime events encountered by Lea. Thoroughly documented and filled with telling illustrations, this book will leave a stunning impression on those interested in the realistic depiction of war, in both images and words. Greeley is a retired Marine Corps aviator who lives in Annapolis, Maryland and has written and edited for the U.S. Naval Institute's Proceedings and Naval History magazines.On the web: Click Here
