DESCRIPTION:
This is a must read and should be required for all high school students to read!! I just finished your book "The Things Our Father'a Saw". It took me only two days to finish it, I just couldn't put it down. I have read more books than I can count about WW 2, I have to say that your book was the best, bar none. Thank you so much for writing this amazing book. I wish I was in to history like I am now when I was in high school in the 80. "Beautiful, Important work" according to Raymond H. Mullen. Sometimes I wish books could be rated higher than the 5 Star limit. This is one of these times. The one on one interviews along with the personalinformation of those involved add such character, beauty and credibility to this most important work of WWII.

Here are the stories that the magazine could not tell, from a vanishing generation speaking to America today. The book resurrects firsthand accounts of combat and brotherhood, of captivity and redemption, and the aftermath of a war that left no American community unscathed
