VOICES FROM A DISTANT WAR is a collection of 44 short memoirs of those who were part of war, each written in the writers’ own hand. The histories range from experiences at Pearl Harbor during the bombing, the capture of Wake Island, surviving the sinking of the USS Huston and becoming POWs on the Railway of Death (River Kwai), the Bataan Death March, the air war over Europe, the shoot-down of Yamamota, facing death at Iwo Jima, being held as POWs by the Japanese and Germans, fighting in Italy to dropping the 2nd and final A-Bomb over Nagasaki, Japan. There are even a few nurses who were present on D-Day. Follow along as editor Joe Freitus reminds us, through the eyes of those who were there, what it is like to serve our country during war-time.
