John Goodin

This photo shows the cover of the book "Appalachia to Dessau:  Letters of a Tank Commander in World War II" with John Goodin posing on the side of a military vehicle.

We get an up-close look at what daily life was like during World War II through the letters of tank commander John Goodin, originally from Erwin, Tennessee. Many of his letters are collected in a new book, Appalachia to Dessau:  Letters of a Tank Commander in World War II, edited by Sandy Laws and published in 2024 by McFarland and Company.
