To hear directly from one soldier, read In the Neighborhood of Zero: A World War II Memoir by William V. Spanos.  Taken prisoner during the Battle of the Bulge, then marched and transported by freight train to Dresden, Spanos recalls the experience of being a prisoner of war.  Writing to try to regain his sense of self, Spanos challenges our American cultural memory of World War II with the painful memory that is war.  An excerpt of his powerful prose can be found on our website. 
To see the effects of World War II in America, read Enemies: World War II Alien Internment by John Christgau.  Christgau examines the imprisonment of “enemy aliens” during World War II and how the lives of these normal individuals were uprooted by the politics of national security.  Represented in five case studies, Christgau reveals the pain and heartbreak experienced by the 31,275 individuals trapped by the Alien Enemy Control Program.
