Memory comes to life in Studs Terkel’s "The Good War", a collection of in-depth interviews with those who lived through World War II. Experience firsthand accounts from basic training to the battlefield, from factory workers to army nurses, from those interned in camps, and from those thrust to the forefront of this worldwide conflict. This work explores one of humanity’s oldest questions: “Is there any such thing as a good war?”
Please note this production contains sounds and weapons of war.
