A fascinating book! Studs Terkel interviews people and publishes their stories in their own words. The word that best describes his work is "authenticity." In this book, he helps a number of WWII veterans tell their own stories in their own words. Their memories and their language are very much those of a very different time, and they brought back memories of the men of that generation whom I once knew. Those men are mostly gone now, but they live on in books like this one.
