All of Us Fought the War: The University of Alabama and Its Men and Women in World War II - Hardcover

A companion to his When Winning Was Everything: Alabama Football Players in World War II, Delbert Reed’s All of Us Fought the War extends the story of sacrifice and heroism to the university at large.

An estimated ten thousand men and women with University of Alabama ties served in the military during World War II. At least 350 of them lost their lives, falling in 21 different countries, on 15 islands of the Pacific, and on five of seven seas. Some served long, torturous months in prisoner of war camps and many others were wounded.

The stories shared in this book illustrate the sacrifice of thousands of men and women who went to war to preserve peace and democracy in America and to reclaim freedom for countless million throughout the world.
