Preserving the personal histories of civilians and
soldiers who united to defend America during the Second
World War, this oral history tells the stories of
ordinary citizens who left jobs and families behind to
contribute to the war effort. Chronicling the sacrifices
made by otherwise average people, this keepsake features
profiles and interviews with the men and women who
responded to the call to action by putting their lives on
hold to fight for their country at home and abroad. From
soldiers and spies to factory workers and nurses, the
heroes profiled in this history include Dick Hamada, a
Japanese-American who became a spy with the Office of
Strategic Services; Edith McClure, an army nurse
stationed in England; Bobby Hite, one of the famed
Doolittle Raiders, who was captured by the Japanese and
endured years of torture and solitary confinement; and
pilot Bob Hoover, who was shot down over enemy territory
and imprisoned but managed to escape by stealing a German
plane.
