"The stories in this book explore an expansive picture of World War II, but more importantly, show the human side of the war through the eyes of men and women who experienced World War II firsthand. Their stories, written and told by them, recreate the tragedy of war so that the reader can relate to, and relive, the actual events as they happened. The author experienced WWII on the homefront during his childhood, which has led him to a lifelong interest in, and study of, this cataclysmic event. World War II destroyed lives, cities, towns, nations, economies, and cultures. It left fifty-five million people dead and twelve million as refugees. It was the single most defining event of the twentieth century.". Inscribed By the Author. First Edition / First Printing. Blue Boards. Very Good+/Very Good+. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall.
