As the veterans of World War II pass from our presence, Americans feel a need to remember their pain and sacrifices. This book, written by a newspaper columnist himself a Navy veteran of that war, is a collection of interviews and personal essays that bring home the experiences of the men who served our nation in those historic times:
*Sailors asleep on a quiet Sunday morning shocked into the realization that "THIS IS NO DRILL";
*POWs who survived unspeakable horrors on the Bataan Death March or the frozen fields of Germany;
Heroic pilots who braved casualty rates that were "more than 100 percent";
and
Men who fought another kind of war, the war of boredom, with patience, tenacity, and humor.
