This book is certianly the best account of World War II that I have ever read. Over the past few years I have read various books about one of the greatest wars in all of history, and there is no doubt that this is the best of all I've read. The authors do a tremendous job of communicating life on the home front as well as the battle front. The audience are able to get inside the lives of those who had to suffer the war, and at times it feels as if the reader is experiencing it himself. No book can ever do justice to what the war was really like, but this book enables readers feel the suffering of soldiers who saw their friends die right next to them and fear that the next knock on the door may be one delivering a telegram that a loved one is dead. The photographs effectively supplement the text and further communicate the message. This book clearly communicates what made America great, something that most people today do not understand and are trying to throw away. I would highly reccomend this book to anyone interested in America's greatest victory. It is perfect for reading through, brushing up on history, or for reference. Definitiely my favorite book.Read full review
It is important for every American citizen to reocognize the sacrifices made for the life we enjoy. The text and photographs in this book reflect the horrible price America's fighting military made to achieve a victory for our way of life. I do not know how anyone could experience this book without being forever grateful. The book is very well done, in fact the best and most comprehensive history of the war that I have ever found. If you have only one history book from WW II this should be that book.
This book draws a picture of what life was like during WW 2 in the US and abroad.
