by Hilary Kaiser (Author)
This collection of oral histories, poems, letters and essays gives voice to both American veterans who fought in Europe, particularly in France, during World War II, as well as to French women who lived through the war, met and married GIs, emigrated to the United States and learned to adapt to life in America in the 1940s. The stories and words of these men and women are diverse and engaging and will inspire readers of all generations.
