A Mile in Their Shoes: Conversations With Veterans of World War II Paperback
by Aaron Elson (Author), Susan English (Editor)

Aaron Elson has been recording the stories of World War 2 veterans for more than 20 years. In this collection he presents a dozen compelling interviews. They include a conversation with five 101st Airborne Division veterans of the siege of Bastogne, a 90th Infantry Division Medal of Honor recipient, two 82nd Airborne veterans of D-Day and the Battle of the Bulge, a survivor of the pre-D-Day disaster at Slapton Sands, and a father who was in World War II and his son who served in Vietnam.

This book gave a very realistic view of WWII from the perspective of men who were actually there. Their views are important for us to be able to understand the sacrifices they made. Too few people realize what went on and what their experiences were really like.
