Reseña del libro "Highland Rim Warriors: Macon County, Tennessee, and World War II (en Inglés)"
This book takes a brief look at Macon County, Tennessee during World War II and some of the men and women that took part in it, either in direct combat or in support roles. It lists more than 900 soldiers, seamen, and Marines. It identifies some of those wounded or captured and includes brief articles on the soldiers that died in uniform. Those that served were as diverse a group as Macon County could offer. Some were Black, others were White; some were men, others were women; some were teenagers, others were past forty; some were well-to-do, others were dirt poor; some were college graduates, others had never been inside a classroom; some were volunteers, others were draftees. Brothers often served together, and fathers and sons were sometimes in the service at the same time. The one thing they all shared was they were willing to put themselves in harm's way in the service of their country. The book is about more than the soldiers, however. It includes a chapter on the military training "maneuvers" conducted in Macon in the 1940s. It even describes some of the "war games" conducted on Macon County soil. The book details some of the sacrifices the homefolk made for the war effort and some of the hardships they faced. The people of that era have been described as "America's Greatest Generation" and no one can challenge that fact. Macon County, Tennessee was a proud part of that generation of heroes.
