For more than forty years the Institute for Oral History at Baylor
University has dutifully gathered the flesh-and-blood memories of
the World War II generation in the state of Texas. Tattooed on My
Soul brings together seventeen of the most compelling narratives
from Baylor's extensive collection of more than five thousand
interviews. Taken together, these selections provide an authentic
and powerful mosaic of those critical years and offer intimate
glimpses into the reality and meaning of the war for those who
fought it. For them, World War II is more than history. And when
they tell their stories, it becomes more than facts and dates,
victories and defeats for those who listen. Representing a
cross-section of Texas' population and a wide range of wartime
assignments, these recollections reveal the personal perspectives
on many events and figures of World War II. On land, in air, and by
sea, in the Pacific and in Europe, they fought for America's
future. With the clear ring of authenticity and a surprising
immediacy, even after all these years, their stories make a global
war personal.
