Description
La guerra buena: una historia oral de la Segunda Guerra Mundial
This unique testimony, for which Studs Terkel won the Pulitzer Prize, is not only a record of his experience in war but also a testament to his exceptional interviewing skills. A sweeping epic of World War II, as described by People magazine, Terkel expands his writing scope to global and historical themes, resulting in a masterpiece of oral history.
The result is a vivid portrait of an entire nation's experience, drawn from the words of those who lived it: soldiers, sailors, nurses, workers, bureaucrats, and conscientious objectors. 120 people share their stories, offering insights into that pivotal moment and many others, including the institutionalized racism in the US Army, the birth of the military-industrial complex, and the origins of the Cold War.
