The true account of World War II as seen through eyes of
thirty-four mid-Western Americans. Covering the war on a year by
year basis, it is the story of how the war affected these
individuals and their families, many times in their own words.
Covered is not only the military who went off to war, but also the
wives, the sweethearts, and the children of the military, as well
as those who stayed behind to hold down the home front - the
factory worker, the German POW guard, the farmer. It is the story
of how they willingly struggled with rationing, how they willingly
assisted each other when the need arose, how they willingly
collected recyclables and other goods for the war effort, without
any expectation of compensation. It is also the story of the
military members, why and when they entered the service as well as
how they served their country in the time of need - the B-17 ball
turret gunner, the Higgins boat pilot, the Marine landing on
Okinawa and Guam, the Japanese held POW, the WAC and the WAAC. In
summary, it is the story of their war A war that "nobody, nobody
shirked their duty."
