HISTORY
Everyday heroes. Following the personal stories and experiences of
ordinary Americans directly and often extraordinarily affected by
America's involvement in World War II, this fascinating companion
book to the PBS documentary series is filled with candid reflections
and photographs never before published. Told from such a personal,
human vantage point, the stories that make up The War: An Intimate History, 1941-1945—like the series—do much to expand on the history,
heroism, and heartbreak of "The Good War."
