Description
Herein are recollections of war orphans of World War II, sons and daughters who for half a century have seldom spoken of their fathers or of their own lives after the deaths of their fathers. The memories revealed through interviews, letters, family histories and remembrances of their fathers’ war buddies are remarkable for their honesty and their quiet courage.

The authors, both of them war orphans, collaborated to collect the stories of other sons and daughters who for half a century have seldom spoken of their fathers and the effects of their fathers' deaths on their lives. They hope to bring home what the four years of WWII cost America in terms of human suffering that did not end with the armistice nor with the burial of the dead.
