Book excerpt: It's all here. Moments of terror. Days of tedium. Lifelong pride. This was the reality of World War II for the men and women of the Greatest Generation. More than seven decades later, Joyce Winfield's research and storytelling, based on interviews with Nebraskans who served at the home front and on the front lines, paint vivid and personal pictures that transform these neighbors around us into compelling individuals. They survived torpedoed ships and POW camps, turned shrapnel into a tie clasp and nursed the wounded in the jungles of the South Pacific. "Forever Heroes" preserves 21 stories from World War II veterans so future generations will appreciate how ordinary people accomplished extraordinary things.
