The vivid voices that speak from these pages are not those of historians or scholars. They are the voices of ordinary men and women who experienced the most devastating war in history. Focusing on the citizens of four U.S. towns, The War follows more than forty people from 1941 to 1945. Woven largely from their memories, the compelling, unflinching narrative is enriched by maps and hundreds of photographs, including many never published before. Hardcover, 480 pages. By Geoffrey C Ward and Ken Burns
