A Rising Power

For every soldier, sailor, pilot, or marine who answers a country's call, there are mothers, fathers, relatives, and friends who do more than just stand and wait. Until the end of war, through tears and fears, they become the beacons of home and hope. We may have heard of the battles and the politics of the "war to end war," but rarely do we hear of those Americans who, from the very moment the first shot was fired, rushed to the aid of France. In A Rising Power you will hear in their own voices what soldiers, sailors, relatives, protestors, civilian volunteers, correspondents, and others, were thinking, doing, and saying. They are the forgotten warriors whose voices speak again.
