Excerpts from Oral Histories that are part of the Library of Congress's Oral History Project, arranged thematically. Women are included under numerous themes, including Answering the Call, A Day in the Life, They Also Serve and Coming Home. The only chapter in which women are significantly absent is "Under Fire." It needn't have been that way, of course, if the Library's interviewers had looked for women who served under fire. However the probably assumed that women did not serve under fire in World War II. A nice thin volume with excellent clear photos from the Library of Congress. This book documents the actual words of war veterans and their families. Covered are WWI, WWII, Vietnam, and the Persian Gulf War (Iraq I). Korea is absent with no reason given. The book chapters are divided into Answering the Call, Under Fire, The Specialists, WWII Home Front, and Coming Home. The various contributors try to be honest and accurate but it is a work consciously edited to display the various forms of patriotism in a setting of historical folklore. The project continues and submissions can be made with the required permissions included. This would be excellent for grade and high school students. The archive photos are superb. näyttää 3/3 ei arvosteluja | lisää arvostelu
