When Howard Mansfield grew up, World War II was omnipresent and hidden. This was also true of his fathers time in the Air Force. Like most of his generation, it was a rule not to talk about what hed experienced in war.Youre not getting any war stories from me, hed say.Cleaning up the old family house the year before his fathers death, Mansfield was surprised to find a short diary of the bombing missions he had flown. Some of the missions were harrowing. Mansfield began to fill in the details, and to be surprised again, this time by a history he thought he knew.I Will Tell No War Stories is about undoing the forgetting in a family and in a society that has hidden the horrors and cataclysm of a world at war. Some part of that forgetting was necessary for the veterans, otherwise how could they come home, how could they find peace?I Will Tell No War Stories is also about learning to live with history, a theme Mansfield explored in earlier books like In the Memory House, which The New York Times calleda wise and beautiful book and The Same Ax,Twice, said by the Times to befilled with insight and eloquence a brilliant book.
