Produktbeschreibung
Beyond Valor is a stunning tribute to our "greatest generation" in the words of the men themselves. Pioneering oral historian Patrick K. O'Donnell, the founder of the award-winning Web site The Drop Zone, draws from over 600 interviews with veterans to weave together the full personal account of WWII's elite troops and tell the combat history of the war in the men's own words. The book covers the entire European theater, from North Africa to Normandy to Germany. Through these eyewitness accounts and previously unpublished photographs, readers experience the infamous fighting on Omaha Beach, in the Hurtgen Forest, and at the Battle of the Bulge. These intensely personal stories are often horrific: tales of best friends killed, of whole units decimated, and of the madness of wartime atrocities. Given a rare chance to speak, our soldiers have unburdened themselves of fifty years' pent-up emotion. The result is both shocking and moving.
