We Had a Job to Do by Theresa Anzaldua Book Tour and Book Review


Book Description for We Had a Job to Do:

This heartfelt tribute to World War II veterans is history that reads like fiction.

Follow a soldier who fought in Patton’s Third Army and who landed on Omaha Beach at 9 a.m. on D-Day; a female Army Air Forces nurse who made helping veterans her life’s work; a fighter pilot who flew with the African-American unit known as the Tuskegee Airmen and who was on one of the teams that won the first Top Gun meet after the war; a guard in a top-secret intelligence base outside of Washington, D.C. where top German weapons scientists were interrogated; a female aircraft mechanic who served in the Navy and is still active in veterans affairs seventy years later; a gunner on a B-17 heavy bomber who was shot down and spent fourteen months in German prison camps; an airman in General Curtis LeMay’s 20th Air Force, the unit that dropped the atomic bombs, and more.

Get to know some of the patriots who served in World War II.

My Review:
This is a story about the men who were in World War II. This story is told through the eyes of different soldiers and their different experiences. This is a great book that shows our history and what really happened. This is a book that will make you be proud and also make you cry. I give this book a 5/5. I think that anyone who likes to read about history and what war does to us will like this book,  These are my opinions.
