“My thoughts were like a tornado during the war.” These words from an American soldier whose story of service is included in this volume express what many troops experienced during World War II.

Other stories of those who served from 1941-1945: a C-47 crew of the Eighth Air Force that flies supplies to Allied troops surrounded by Japanese forces in the Philipines;  Allied troops discover ovens used by Nazis to burn thousands of bodies of people gassed to death at the recently-liberated killing center of Dachau, Germany; a Marine fires his flamethrower at a pillbox as five Japanese soldiers with fixed bayonets charge at him at Iwo Jima.
