Winner of the Pulitzer Prize: “The richest and most powerful single document of the American experience in World War II” (The Boston Globe). “The Good War” is a testament not only to the experience of war but to the extraordinary skill of Studs Terkel as an interviewer and oral historian. From a pipe fitter’s apprentice at Pearl Harbor to a crew member of the flight that dropped the atomic bomb on Nagasaki, his subjects are open and unrelenting in their analyses of themselves and their experiences, producing what People magazine has called “a splendid epic history” of WWII. With this volume Terkel expanded his scope to the global and the historical, and the result is a masterpiece of oral history. “Tremendously compelling, somehow dramatic and intimate at the same time, as if one has stumbled on private accounts in letters locked in attic trunks . . . 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.” —The New York Times Book Review “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 “A powerful book, repeatedly moving and profoundly disturbing.” —People

A co-worker of mine was told me about World War Z, and how he liked it because the story was told in a kinda 'Studs Terkel ' sorta style. I'd heard of Studs Terkel, but never read any of his books. I did like WWZ and was intrigued by what my friend meant, so I got this book for my Kindle. I am no expert about WW2, but I've read quite a bit about it. I knew about Patton, and D-Day, Okinawa so on and so on. I knew about some of the discrimination that had taken place back then too...the interment camps we had for the Japanese Americans, and the menial jobs we gave to the American service men. However, I never understood, or realized how bad it had been. Studs book tells the stories that we never really hear about. The Women that served here in the factories, and lost their brothers, and husbands in the War. How they discovered new opportunities in the work force because the the War, and began the real entry of Women into the work force. We hear from the African Americans who wanted to serve, but were relegated to servants jobs, and treated terribly by the Military. There are other stories too, some from the 'other' side. The German civilians caught in the bombing of Dresden, so on and so on.I did my book reports in school, so I am not going to go into a lot of detail, but I think this book is important. I think it's a valuable contribution the the history of the time, and a must read for anyone that is interested in the history of WW2.Yeah, my friend was right. WWZ was written in the same kind of narrative, maybe that's why it made such a good read.......
