World War II is one of those rare events in history whose retelling will forever guide us toward a deeper understanding of freedom and tyranny; honor and infamy; the roles of prudence, folly, and chance in human affairs; and man's capacity for courage, endurance, and sacrifice. These nine essays by leading World War II historians, adapted from presentations given at a Hillsdale College seminar, are written with an eye to these timeless and valuable lessons. Authors include Stephen E. Ambrose, Martin Gilbert, Victor Davis Hanson, and Gerhard L. Weinberg.

the greatest generation
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 20 years ago
If you are in awe of what this generation did for all of us, read this book. It is based on a conference on WWII at Hillsdale College moderated by Stephen Ambrose. While it was in session, September 11 occurred. Talk about a coincidence! You will enjoy the various presentations from the conference. You won't be sorry.
