A great story and a first hand account of one mans role in history, My War is a wise, moving memoir from one of Americas most engaging personalities. As a naive, young correspondent for The Stars and Stripes during World War II, Andy Rooney flew bomber missions, arrived in France during the DDay invasion and crossed the Rhine with the Allied forces, traveled to Paris for the Liberation, and, as one of the first reporters into Buchenwald, witnessed the discovery of Hitlers concentration camps. Like so many of his generation, Rooneys life was changed forever by the war. Tom Brokaw featured Rooneys experiences in The Greatest Generation. Now, for the millions of readers who would like to know the whole story, Rooneys own thoughtful, witty, and moving memoir (Chicago Tribune), illustrated throughout with evocative blackandwhite photographs, is now available again in a beautiful hardcover edition, perfect for holiday gift giving. And in a new chapter, written especially for this edition, Rooney reflects on Americas renewed interest in World War II, and why that war was so important to those who served in it.
