“David Pearsall does a masterful job in "World War II – Honor and Remembrance", where he goes in-depth in describing the heroes of WWII and the scars that the war left on those warriors who returned home. He has crafted a story that draws you into the battle and gives you a front row seat into what it must have been like to fight and survive the war, only to come home to emotional trauma and constant memories of the horror that was WWII. ”
