Product Description

Every year, millions of people linger at Washington's Vietnam Memorial thinking, crying, touching its mirror-like walls.But this monument, which has become the capital's most visited spot, almost wasn't built. How did controversy and racism almost derail the Vietnam Memorial? This story and others are told in full in THE WAR MEMORIALS. From the unforgettable sight of Arlington's endless white crosses, on land that was once Robert E. Lee's estate, to the stirring sculpture of the Iwo Jima Memorial, THE WAR MEMORIALS examines our heroic tributes. Meet the Women of Arlington, who ensure that no soldier goes unmourned, witness the silent ceremonies at The Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, and visit the everlasting flame that marks the grave of a fallen president.THE WAR MEMORIALS is a touching reminder of the great costs our nation has suffered in defending the cause of freedom.
