Voices of Valor is both a captivating history and a stirring tribute to the
men who fought in one of the most important battles of the twentieth
century.
It includes two hourlong audio CDs -- 120 minutes in all -- that allow us to
hear the veterans' own voices as they recount what they experienced at
Normandy. These accounts are drawn from the Peter S. Kalikow World
War II Oral History Project conducted by the Eisenhower Center for
American Studies at the University of New Orleans, and now curated by
the National D-Day Museum.
The text of Voices of Valor -- written by acclaimed historian and popular on-
air consultant Douglas Brinkley and decorated Vietnam veteran and D-Day
expert Ronald J. Drez -- is based on those oral testimonies and weaves a
captivating narrative of that dramatic day.
D-Day -- June 6, 1944 -- has been rightly called a pivotal moment in the
twentieth century. With the fate of World War II hanging in the balance,
150,000 Allied soldiers took part in the largest air, land, and sea operation
ever attempted. Five thousand Allied servicemen died that day, but D-
Day's success proved to be the decisive turning point of the war. Less than
a year later, Hitler and his regime fell. This unique multimedia history of
the invasion brings the veterans' stories to life as never before.
