Winner of the Pulitzer Prize in General NonfictionThe Good War is a testament not only to the experience of war but to the extraordinary skill of Studs Terkel as an interviewer and oral historian. From a pipe fitters apprentice at Pearl Harbor to a crew member of the flight that dropped the atomic bomb on Nagasaki, his subjects are open and unrelenting in their analyses of themselves and their experiences, producing what People magazine has called a splendid epic history of WWII. With this volume Terkel expanded his scope to the global and the historical, and the result is a masterpiece of oral history.
