Historical Note
The men and women of the "The Greatest Generation" recollect the pivotal events of World War II in the landmark, Emmy Award-winning, four-part series from KUED. This collection is comprised of the oral histories that informed this series. Utah sent more than 70,000 troops to war – to the jungles of Asia, the mountains of Italy, the beaches of France, the air over Berlin, and the waters of the Pacific – to battle the forces of tyranny and reclaim freedom. More than 3,600 never returned to tell their stories. Those who did carry with them an unwavering sense of pride and unfailing humility about their service. At home, Utah citizens worked and sacrifices to help support the war effort, while anxiously waiting for the return of soldiers from distant combat.
