Publisher's Synopsis
Prizewinning historian Donald L. Miller has written one of the most powerful accounts of warfare ever published, a story of the horror and heroism of World War II in the words of the men who fought it, the journalists who covered it, and the civilians who were caught in its fury. This is the war that Americans at the home front would have read about had they had access to the previously censored testimony of the soldiers on which Miller builds his gripping narrative.
