Perhaps I am a bit prejudiced, being the Baby Boomer daughter of an American soldier who fought in the Battle of the Bulge, but Tom Brokaw's wonderful reading of his book about World War Two survivors, both men and women, was one of the most moving books I have "read" in quite some time. Not at all dry as I had feared, it had humor, joy, disappointment, sadness in the stories Brokaw related of both famous and ordinary citizens. And I learned a great deal about those awful years that my dad, like so many other veterans, just couldn't talk about to those he loved.
