"The Good War": An Oral History of World War II (English Edition) Kindle版
“The Good War” is a testament not only to the experience of war but to the extraordinary skill of Studs Terkel as an interviewer and oral historian. From a pipe fitter’s apprentice at Pearl Harbor to a crew member of the flight that dropped the atomic bomb on Nagasaki, his subjects are open and unrelenting in their analyses of themselves and their experiences, producing what People magazine has called “a splendid epic history” of WWII. With this volume Terkel expanded his scope to the global and the historical, and the result is a masterpiece of oral history.
“Tremendously compelling, somehow dramatic and intimate at the same time, as if one has stumbled on private accounts in letters locked in attic trunks . . . In terms of plain human interest, Mr. Terkel may well have put together the most vivid collection of World War II sketches ever gathered between covers.” —The New York Times Book Review
“I promise you will remember your war years, if you were alive then, with extraordinary vividness as you go through Studs Terkel’s book. Or, if you are too young to remember, this is the best place to get a sense of what people were feeling.” —Chicago Tribune
“A powerful book, repeatedly moving and profoundly disturbing.” —People

良く見かける構文、曖昧にしていた部分などが頻出して大変楽しいです。
日系人へのインタビューから始まっていることからも、筆者は皮肉を込めて The Good War とタイトルを付けていることがわかります。日本に対する差別意識(ドイツ人はこちらの人間だが日本人は異物であり排除の対象)など率直に語られています。
また、退役軍人の多くがGI Billで大きな恩恵を受けていた事、軍需景気による恩恵の大きさ、(戦争を終わらせたのは原爆と言った)自分たちに都合の良いファクトを多くのアメリカ人が信じていることなど頻繁に語られ、朝鮮戦争〜ベトナム戦争とアメリカが戦争国家を卒業できない理由がこの good warにあることが示唆されます。

More testimonies from the other side would have been interesting.
This is a fascinating take on American life and attitudes to the Second World War, with a very wide range of topics and people included. I felt it was best read in small chunks, taking one interviewee's experience and allowing that to be absorbed. I personally found the sections on attitudes to different races and Japanese internees the most interesting and eye opening, and was startled by the depth of prejudice that existed. The interviews cover life on the American 'Home Front', the war against Japan and American soldiers experiences in Europe. A theme which occurs again and again, even amongst the most professional and battle experienced people is the futility and needlessness of war...a trite comment, but the way in which so many interviewees reach this conclusion is enthralling.
As a result of reading this, two more Studs Terkel books are immediately on order!
