The War They Won: The Story of World War II, as told by Those Who Were There -- Lt Hobart K. Kistler, Hardcover
From the opening attack on Pearl Harbor, through the European and Pacific theaters, to the far-flung corners of the world, The War They Won is a journey alongside the brave men and women who fought and sacrificed to defeat the Axis powers. This narrative-driven account of the Second World War is told by those who experienced it firsthand. The author, the late Lt. Hobart K. Kistler, USN, personally interviewed more than 150 veterans of the war. Their personal experiences and perspectives form the core of this book, allowing a view of the war that is both personal and broad in its scope.
The book covers every major battle of the war including Normandy, the Battle of the Bulge, and Iwo Jima, as well as battles in lesser-known locales such as Alaska, India, and North Africa. Each chapter features voices of the people who served in those battles, along with historical details and descriptions of the environment. With more than 200 photos and maps, this immersive book will help you experience World War II as never before.
