One of my grandfathers was also in World War II. The theme of people that were there being unable to relate it to people back home rang true for me; my grandpa never spoke of it, only that he didn't like Spam anymore.
Where was this article when I was learning about WWII in high school? This provided a much more comprehensive understanding of the war. It must have taken years to research. It was interesting that he didn't include any personal interviews. He filled that spot with transcripts from journalists and what little he could find of veterans recounting their experience.
