A celebration of the overlooked contributions of the 750,000 Mexican American veterans of the "Greatest Generation"
Maggie Rivas-Rodriguez is Associate Professor of Journalism at the University of Texas at Austin. In 1999, she launched the U.S. Latino and Latina World War II Oral History Project, which has so far gathered more than 450 interviews. This book is, in part, an outgrowth of that research.
This text makes a valuable contribution to the growing literature
on the Mexican American experience.
