de Patrick K. O'Donnell

In "Beyond Valor, " Patrick O'Donnell, a pioneer of Internet-based "oral history" who has collected the first-person stories of hundreds of veterans on his on-line oral history project, recreates the frontline experience in stunning detail, weaving together more than 650 e-histories and interviews into a seamless narrative. 50 photos.

Información de la editorial

The thrilling story of the Airborne and Ranger troops that saw the worst of WWII action--told for the first time in the voices of the soldiers themselves. From the first parachute drops in North Africa to the final battles in Germany, U.S. Ranger and Airborne troops saw the worst action of World War II. In Beyond Valor, Patrick O'Donnell, a pioneer of internet-based "oral history" who has collected the first-person stories of hundreds of veterans on his online oral history project, re-creates the frontline experience in stunning detail, weaving together more than 650 "e-histories" and interviews into a seamless narrative. In recollections filled with pain, poignancy, and pride, veterans chronicle the destruction of entire battalions, speak of their own personal scars, and pay tribute to their fallen colleagues. Beyond Valor brings to light the hidden horrors and uncelebrated heroics of a war fought by a now-vanishing generation and preserves them for all future generations.

Primera línea

The lives of these three American men, none older than twenty-three years, are frozen in time, etched into a bronze plaque that quietly marks the place where American ground soldiers first sacrificed their futures in Nazi-occupied Europe.
