He survived the war, but the man they loved was slipping away.

When Bill returned home after flying night intruder missions in WWII, his fianc�e and his family thought the danger had passed. He hadn't received a scratch in combat. But a different kind of battle was just beginning at home.

Lieutenant William C. Gump was a carefree young pilot whose promising future was suddenly upended by a diagnosis of "battle-induced schizophrenia." As Bill slipped into psychosis, his family and his young fianc�e struggled to navigate a devastating reality that 1940s medicine could barely understand. Yet, decades of care from his family and the kindness of a small Kansas town brought a gentle redemption to a tragic story.

After his death, a shoebox of letters was found hidden in a closet. Inside were the vivid, articulate words Bill wrote before his illness took hold-restoring the voice of the man who had been lost for over seventy years.

Pieced together from these intimate wartime writings, Bill's War offers a raw look at the hidden costs of combat and the power of love to bring dignity to shattered lives.
