The Greatest War - Volume I: From Pearl Harbor to the Kasserine Pass Paperback - 2001

by Gerald Astor

One of the nation's most acclaimed military historians presents an authoritative and dramatic three-volume oral history of World War II. This volume includes gripping accounts from American sailors, soldiers, airmen, and marines who share their experiences from the bombing of Pearl Harbor to the fall of Bataan, up through the earliest battles on European soil.

From the rear cover

From the sneak attack that ignited the war with Japan to the Tunisian campaign against Rommel, this book puts you in the torpedo duels of Midway, the desperate struggle for Guadalcanal, and the first airborne drop into North Africa.

THEIR WAR

THEIR WORDS

American fighting men engaged the enemy on land, at sea, and in the air. Now one of the nation's most acclaimed military historians presents an authoritative and dramatic three-volume oral history of World War II that is both richly sweeping and startlingly intimate. A gripping account of how American warriors, from buck privates to five-star generals, fought, bled, thought, and felt, THE GREATEST WAR is the ultimate tribute to the "greatest generation" -- a saga of unparalleled courage, honor, and glory.
