Welcome to AudioMurphy.com - World War II Oral History Audiobooks by Aaron Elson      Aaron started interviewing WWII veterans more than two decades ago when he attended a reunion of his father's tank battalion. Since then, he has gathered over 600 hours of their stories and presents them here in the veterans' own voices. These are the stories that documentaries leave on the cutting room floor, that authors can't fit into popular histories. They are stories about courage and fear, about food and drink, about life and death and love and loss, about wounds and tonsillectomies, about General Patton and general confusion.

    The Dollar Menu

    Order any or all of these hourlong CDs from our eBay store for $1 each. Due to the high cost of postage and packaging and the modest fees charged by eBay and PayPal, we have to add a $1 shipping charge. But order two CDs from the Dollar Menu and the shipping is free. Order three or more and we'll throw in a bonus CD along with the free shipping. Don't be fooled by the low price. Each of these CDs will eat up more than 60 miles of road or keep you company in traffic for an hour. In order to maintain our visibility in eBay's listings, these unique audio CDs have to compete with several high-volume sellers, and this is the best way we could think of to increase our sales volume since we ran out of grandmothers. So pay a visit to our eBay store, take advantage of the Dollar Menu, and help keep this valuable history alive! Note: The Dollar CDs are only available from our eBay store.
