Assuming its rightful place of honor on the National Mallbetween the Lincoln Memorial and the Washington Monument, the WorldWar II Memorial is an eloquent and moving tribute to “The GreatestGeneration.” Sixteen million Americans served in the armedforces—more than 400,000 gave their lives—and millions supportedthe war effort from home, all in the name of protecting that whichwe, as Americans, hold most dear: freedom.

Veterans—including George H.W. Bush,Sen. Daniel Inouye, former senators Bob Dole and George McGovern,Yogi Berra, and many, many others—contribute their own personalstories while leading historians look at the military campaigns ofthe war. The memorial's architect and its sculptor provide insightsinto how it symbolizes the fortitude and perseverance of age

One of the most gifted and influential American journalists ofthe 20th century, A. J. Liebling spent five years reporting thedramatic events and myriad individual stories of World War II. As acorrespondent for The New Yorker , Liebling wrote with apassionate commitment to Allied victory, an unfailing attention totelling details, and an appreciation for the literary challengespresented by the “discursive, centrifugal, both repetitive anddisparate” nature of war. This volume brings together three booksalong with 26 uncollected New Yorker pieces and two excerptsfrom The Republic of Silence (1947), Liebling’s collectionof writing from the French Resistance.
