| Publisher Description: Title is part of a series of stand-alones; each book is independent of the others in content. Kayleen Reusser has interviewed more than 260 World War II Veterans. In her first compilation of published stories, she has gathered 28 accounts of experiences with D-Day, Battle of the Bulge, Battle of Remagen, Okinawa, Iwo Jima and more. All of the WWII Legacies series books are in Large print and written for non-military readers. The stories explain in the words of our nation's oldest veterans -- male and female -- the sacrifices they made for their country around the world from 1941-1945. Stories are distributed between the Army, Navy, Army Air Corps, Marines. Two WASP stories stand out as those among the little more than 1,000 women who completed flight training and took over jobs in the US which allowed more pilots to go overseas. An Army nurse tells about working in hospitals in France and Germany during and after the war. This compilation is a significant preservation of America's military heritage. |
