Book
Hardcover. Condition: Very good. Dust Jacket Condition: Very good. Richard Latoff (Photography) (illustrator). Special Limited Edition Printing. 285 pages. Oversized volume, measuring 9" by 11". Transmittal letter laid in. Forward by John S. D. Eisenhower. Bound into the book is a special 16-page insert highlighting the events of Dedication Day in words and images. Profusely illustrated with color and black and white photographs. The World War II Memorial was dedicated on Memorial Day weekend in the summer of 2004, with an estimated 150,000 people in attendance on the National Mall. Contains essays by Thomas B. Allen, Douglas Brinkley, Thomas Childers, Carlo D'Este, Allan R. Millett, Terry Golway, and Emily Yellin. Contains an appreciation of the Memorial by well-known architect, Hugh Hardy. Includes interviews with men and women who served as fighter pilots, nurses, and sailors, as well as soldiers from Iwo Jima and from D-Day, as well as well-known veterans such as Daniel Inouye, Paul Tibbts, Yogi Berra, Bob Feller, and Warren Spahn. This is a companion volume to the PBS documentary, The World War II Memorial: A Testament to Freedom. Assuming its rightful place of honor on the National Mall between the Lincoln Memorial and the Washington Monument, the World War II Memorial is an eloquent and moving tribute to "The Greatest Generation." Sixteen million Americans served in the armed forces-more than 400,000 gave their lives-and millions supported the war effort from home, all in the name of protecting that which we, as Americans, hold most dear: freedom. The World War II Memorial, published in conjunction with the dedication of this long-overdue memorial, commemorates the everyday Americans who in countless ways rose up to defeat one of history's gravest threats to freedom. Veterans-including George H.W. Bush, Sen. Daniel Inouye, former senators Bob Dole and George McGovern, Yogi Berra, and many, many others-contribute their own personal stories while leading historians look at the military campaigns of the war. The memorial's architect and its sculptor provide insights into how it symbolizes the fortitude and perseverance of a generation, and the exclusive photographs present the memorial through all stages of construction. Fittingly, this historic tribute falls in the 60th anniversary year of D-Day, a time when our nation once again reflects on its greatest sacrifice and greatest victory in the name of freedom. In May 2004, the sixtieth anniversary year of D-Day, the nation paid tribute to its World War II heroes with the dedication of a memorial on the National Mall in Washington, D.C. This beautifully illustrated keepsake offers a behind-the-scenes look at the creation of the memorial and its place in American history. Exclusive photographs show the memorial in all stages of development, accompanied by text exploring the symbolism of each part -- the Rainbow Pool, the Wall of Remembrance, the Field of Stars, the Freedom Wall, and the Pillars of the States and Territories. George H. W. Bush, former senator Bob Dole, Yogi Berra, and other veterans share their personal stories, and leading military historians contribute essays on the war efforts at home and abroad. Like the memorial it commemorates, this book pays tribute to the "greatest generation" -- the everyday Americans who rose up to defend our freedom.
