Description - The War by Geoffrey C. Ward
An intimate, profoundly affecting chronicle of the most devastating war in history, as told through the voices of ordinary men and women who experienced-and helped to win-it. . Includes maps and hundreds of photographs.
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.
