| Publisher Description: Grand Salute captures the kaleidoscope of World War II America and its surprising aftermath. A masterpiece of local history, Grand Salute ranges from the hometown roots of America's "first soldier" to the inspiring women volunteers of the Connellsville Canteen and the astonishing escape of a young girl from Nazi-occupied Europe and her new life in the United States. Presenting the men and women who won World War II in all their complexity and glory, Grand Salute pays tribute to a generation that changed the course of history as well as themselves. |
