CIVIL WAR FATHERS: SONS OF THE CIVIL WAR IN WWII tells of eight
American families whose fathers fought in the Civil
War, and whose sons
and daughters fought in World War II. It evolved from an interview
project with middle school children and blossomed to embrace two
generations of military experience, providing an unusual focus on the
Civil War through the eyes of children listening to their father's
stories, and World War II through these same children as grown-up
participants. A fascinating dual history evolves, offering military
readers new insights based on experience: perfect for both specialty and
general-interest military holdings.
