What an incredible audiobook. I'm riveted to it, I think I've played it 20 times so far and I learn something new every time I hear it. The true stories are fascinating. If you like American history or just like to hear personal accounts of war and life, this is the book you need to buy. Tom Brokaw interviewed everyday folks and presidents that fought in WWII and explains how they changed the world. Don't think about it, just buy it!

Bought it for my book-loving 86 year old Grandma. She absolutely loves it. She is terminally ill and cannot see well enough to read anymore. With this book, her mind has a place to go away from pain and illness. Her happiest memories are from those years and this book does a great job of taking her back there. I can tell because of her smile. Can't wait to read it myself.
Awesome stories & people which should never be forgotten!

My husband and I really enjoyed this book. We cried along with it. We were little kids during this war and remember tears when neighbors lost a loved one. I can still see the flags with the black star in the windows. We had to have "lights out" during the air raid drills. It was a sad time and there were many heros. It was nice to know about some of them.
I've always wanted to read this book, but never get to finish it .. I saw this CD set for sale and took it along on a business trip where I had many hours of driving .. It was GREAT and I've had the opportunity to listen to it several times since
