What the critics say
"Strongly recommended as a supplement to textbook representations of World War." ( Library Journal)
"This three-hour set is filled with the stories that bring history to life, the actual memories of real men and women. This is what history is all about, not a bunch of names and dates in a stuffy old textbook, but real people telling their own stories. Nobody does this kind of work better than NPR." ( Audiobook Heaven)
"The well-selected stories take advantage of the fact that radio was the dominant news media of the period, splicing contemporary material with modern narration and nostalgic interviews." ( AudioFile)
