About this product

Product Information

In this companion volume to the popular "PCN" series, thirty-three of Pennsylvania's World War II veterans recount their wartime experiences. Although these soldiers hail only from Pennsylvania, they represent a cross-section of the war and Americans who served in it. From the attack at Pearl Harbor to the raising of the flag on Iwo Jima, D-Day, and the Battle of the Bulge, these accounts span all the war's theatres, including far-flung China, Burma, and India. Among these veterans are sailors, marines, medics, nurses, paratroopers, machine gunners, radiomen, and prisoners of war. One served as an aide to George S. Patton, and another would become an NFL Hall of Famer. This is a glimpse of World War II as it happened - in their own words.

Our Greatest Generation - How average Americans become Heros
I saw this set and bought it even though I never lived in Pennsylvania, it didn't matter. This is told by actual living veterans that could be from any state or city in the US. They tell some of the best first hand accounts of life during WW II. Spoken from the veterans unabridged actual words, and told in his own way. Shares his and hers highs and lows of life in combat. These books are filled with 2-5 page short accounts of what the person did before the war, when and how they joined or were drafted, how he served, and what his return was like. If you a re a history buff, or want to know what service life was really like, you need these books. I read a lot of books on WW II, and I learned a lot from these great books. They have my highest recommendations, and are a written tribute to some members of the "greatest generation" America has ever seen.Read full review
