The Greatest War: Americans in Combat: 1941-1945
by By Astor, Gerald
Category: History , Military , World War II

This book is an American combat history told largely in the words of soldiers, sailors, airmen, and marines who fought in World War II. Astor, an independent author who interviewed close to 100 people for this book, presents a different view of history, providing his readers with a sense of what the American combatants thought, felt, saw, and heard from the first sights of Japanese planes over Pearl Harbor, to the last visions of a mushroom cloud looming over Nagasaki.
