  • -  Andrew Carroll is founder of the Legacy Project, a national, all-volunteer campaign that encourages Americans to seek out and preserve wartime correspondence before these letters are lost or thrown away. He is the editor of three New York Times best-sellers, including "War Letters: Extraordinary Correspondence from American Wars" (Scribner, 2001), which came out of the Legacy Project and was the basis for the critically acclaimed PBS documentary of the same name. His most recent book is "Behind the Lines" (Simon and Schuster, 2005) featuring 200 rare and previously unpublished personal war letters (and e-mails) of American and foreign troops and civilians beginning with the American Revolution and continuing through Operation Iraqi Freedom. He is recipient of the DAR's Medal of Honor and Freedom Forum's Free Spirit Award. When he isn't traveling around the country encouraging Americans to save their war letters, he lives in Washington, D.C.
