The vivid voices that speak from these pages are not those of
historians or scholars. They are the voices of ordinary men and
women who experienced--and helped to win--the most devastating war
in history, in which between 50 and 60 million lives were lost.
Focusing on the citizens of four towns--Luverne, Minnesota;
Sacramento, California; Waterbury, Connecticut; Mobile,
Alabama--"The War" follows more than forty people from 1941 to
1945. Woven largely from their memories, the compelling,
unflinching narrative unfolds month by bloody month, with the
outcome always in doubt. All the iconic events are here, from Pearl
Harbor to the liberation of the concentration camps--but we also
move among prisoners of war and Japanese American internees,
defense workers and schoolchildren, and families who struggled
simply to stay together while their men were shipped off to Europe,
the Pacific, and North Africa.
Enriched by maps and hundreds of photographs, including many never
published before, this is an intimate, profoundly affecting
chronicle of the war that shaped our world.
