Our Finest Hour: The Triumphant Spirit of America's

Item Details

Description

Our Finest Hour: The Triumphant Spirit of America's World War II Generation. By the editors of Life Magazine. Published by Time Inc in 2000. The book is approx 9 1/2" x 1/2" x 11" and is in a good, used condition with light shelf-wear on the dust-jacket. World War II presented the United States with an impossible challenge--one that could cost countless lives in any single harrowing instant. Yet we plunged in, body and soul, and somehow found moments of tenderness and warmth. Here are the stories of those who fought "the good war." Their voices reveal an indomitable spirit, a peculiarly American optimism, even a weary recognition of the war's unstoppable horrors. Throughout it all, U.S. citizens bucked up and carried on--at home and oversees. The editors of LIFE are proud to bring you this moment of glory in the American experience--in the words of the participants, and in extraordinary photographs that will stay with you forever.
