Loudon Wainwright, The New York Times Book Review
Tremendously compelling, somehow dramatic and intimate at the same time, as if one has stumbled on private accounts in letters long locked in attic trunks...Mr. Terkel's book gives the American experience in World War Two great immediacy...In terms of plain human interest, Mr. Terkel may well have put together the most vivid collection of World War Two sketches ever gathered between covers.

Pulitzer Prize winner, Studs Terkel gives us the oral history of World War Two. Still pertinent today. The experience of war is one of individuals. Terkel gives voice to our most recently lost generation.
