Voices of War is a verbal and visual mosaic of America's military history told in the words of those who were there, from the doughboys of World War I to the mechanized warriors of Operation Desert Storm. Selected from among the more than 30,000 personal interviews, private memoirs, photographs, and letters amassed by the Library of Congress Veterans History Project, this book presents scores of eyewitness accounts -- vignettes of life in uniform and tributes to fallen friends, battle scenes, and quiet moments behind the lines.
