Overview
This book makes the ideal gift for family, friends and World War II buffs. It also is a wonderful tool for our children to learn about a significant time in our history from these heroic stories and people. These are first-person accounts by average young Americans. These people of the 1940's typically left their farms, factories and universities to serve our country in the World War II Pacific. In the process, they became anything but average. It is a historically accurate accounting. It is also a testament to the sacrifices made by young Americans as revealed in their accounts of the "Greatest Conflict Known To Mankind". These retellings take the reader from the beginning of the United States involvement in the war with the bombing of Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941, to the end with the American Occupation of Japan. Through the unfolding of the stories, readers will discover or gain a greater appreciation of how our fighting men and women protected us against the foreign invaders. If successful, this was an enemy that would have enslaved the world. The book is patriotism at it's very best and will leave the reader feeling proud to be an American.
