"What was it like to leave an ordinary life behind to serve as a Flying Tiger or fight in the North African desert? What was it like to be an African American in a segregated army? A Navajo "code talker" using native communications to deliver secret messages? A loyal Japanese American in an internment camp? No attempt to understand the impact of World War II (or any large-scale conflict) is complete without investigating lives like these, and Personal Perspectives: World War II does just that, taking readers deep inside the unique, life-altering experiences of 12 representative groups of soldiers and civilians. Full of historical detail, authentic voices, vivid memories, and revealing insights, Personal Perspectives: World War II puts a human face on an often faceless field of study, placing a wide range of representative individuals front and center against the turbulent backdrop of the war."--BOOK JACKET.
