Publisher's Note
The first trade paperback edition of the Pulitzer Prize-winning book with a new Preface by the author. "As in "Hard Times" and "Working", this master interviewer again creates a turbulent epic of human experience by quoting the words of those who lived it. . . . A vivid resurrection of a lost time".--"Newsday".

Industry Reviews
"A work of remarkable power and sensitivity....Deeply moving and profoundly important....The richest and most powerful single document of the American experience in World War II I have ever seen."
Boston Globe - Alan Brinkley

"I promise you will remember your war years, if you were alive then, with extraordinary vividness as you go through Studs Terkel's book. Or, if you are too young to remember, this is the best place to get a sense of what people were feeling."
Chicago Tribune Books - Garry Wills

"Tremendously compelling, somehow dramatic and intimate at the same time, as if one has stumbled on private accounts in letters locked in attic trunks....Mr. Terkel's book gives the American experience in World War II great immediacy....In terms of plain human interest, Mr. Terkel may well have put together the most vivid collection of World War II sketches ever gathered between covers."
Kerman
