About

The story of the Second World War through the personal accounts of a handful of men and women from four American towns. The war touched the lives of every family on every street in every town in America and demonstrated that in extraordinary times, there are no ordinary lives.
Ordinary citizens from four small American towns find their quiet lives shattered by the relentless machinery of global conflict. These intimate oral histories strip away the grand strategy to reveal the raw, human cost of a world at war.
