Title: Oral History made creditable
Review: In academia, a lot of people take swipes at oral histories for their inn accuracies, and the fact that they focus on one individuals view and not on the larger picture. This book with its continuous stream of world shaking personal stories shows why those critics are so full of hot air. It covers everything from the recoded of the 761st tank unit, which has a combat recoded that will likely never be eclipsed, to the stories of people at Pearl Harbor, people who lived through the nearly forgotten "Zoot Suit Riots" and more. Recommended reading for everyone. It's easy to read, but impossible to forget.
