I’m reading Stud Terkel’s “The Good War”. I am entranced by this book, an oral history of World War II. Published in 1984, it simply records the words of veterans and others who were there. One amazing story after another. One theme that comes through is how many of them believe it was a good war, maybe the only one. It made me wonder if the USA has been in any wars since that qualify. I know my answer, what do the readers think?
P.S. My favorite part of the book so far: A casual reference to a speaker’s friend called Lowlife McCormick. Best name ever!
Update: The answer is here.
