Never Will We Forget - Oral Histories of World War II (Hardcover)

Never Will We Forget deals with the most enduring and moving side of World War II - the personal side. These are the stories of some 400 men and women, who, though they experienced the war in many different ways, were all profoundly affected by it. Gleaned from interviews and oral histories, the book reflects the experiences of male and female veterans, civilians on the home front, conscientious objectors, survivors from the U.S.S. Indianapolis, which was sunk in the Pacific in the worst disaster in U.S. naval history, participants in the Normandy Invasion, the Battle of the Bulge, Iwo Jima, and Okinawa.Some stories tug at the heart, some foster the shock of surprise; still others reflect the long-held pride in the American war effort at home and abroad. From the first dark stirrings of war to its dusty aftermath, Never Will We Forget captures how Americans lived and felt, and what they believed during the twentieth century's most brutal conflict.
