  World War II Oral History Audiobooks: Aaron Elson started interviewing World War II veterans more than two decades ago when he attended a reunion of his father's tank battalion. Since then he's recorded more than 600 hours of interviews. In the remarkable audiobooks you'll find in this store, Elson presents the veterans' stories in their own voices. These are the stories that get left on the cutting room floor of documentaries, that authors can't find room for in popular histories of the war. They're stories about food, about love, about tonsillectomies, about being chewed out by General Patton, the stories that introduce the greatest generation to the latest generation.


Tales of Love, Food, Booze, Jumping Out of Airplanes, Meeting General Patton and winning World War II.

11 hours on 11 CDs.
