Forrest Carlisle Pogue Jr. (September 17, 1912 – October 6, 1996) was an official United States Army historian during World War II. He was a proponent of oral history techniques, and collected many oral histories from the war under the direction of chief Army historian S. L. A. Marshall. Forrest Pogue was for many years the Executive Director of the George C. Marshall Foundation as well as Director of the Marshall Library located on the campus of Virginia Military Institute in Lexington, Virginia. He earned a Bronze Star for front-line combat in the European Theater of Operations during WWII. He was subsequently an Operations Research analysts with the Johns Hopkins University. In 1956, Pogue was hired by the George C. Marshall Foundation to write the official biography of George Marshall. From 1963 to 1987, he worked on the four volume biography, and read over 3.5 million pages of research material while completing his work on Marshall. A pioneer of oral-history techniques, Mr. Pogue captured on tape about 40 hours of interviews with Marshall and also recorded encounters with more than 300 people who had known him, many of them prominent figures themselves.

New York: PublicAffairs, 2000. First Public Affairs Edition [stated], First printing [stated]. Hardcover. xiii, [1], 333, [5] pages. Illustrations. Index. Slight wear to DJ. Dot on top edge. Foreword by Tom Brokaw. The author recounts his experiences as a young reporter to "Stars and Stripes," the American forces' daily newspaper in Europe, including his personal account of the liberation and entry into Buchenwald. Andrew Aitken Rooney (January 14, 1919 – November 4, 2011) was a radio and television writer known for his weekly broadcast "A Few Minutes with Andy Rooney", a part of the CBS News program 60 Minutes from 1978 to 2011. Rooney began his career in newspapers in 1942 while in the Army where he began writing for Stars and Stripes in London. He was one of six correspondents who flew on the second American bombing raid over Germany in February 1943, flying with the Eighth Air Force. He was the first journalist to reach the Ludendorff Bridge after the 9th Armored Division captured it on March 7, 1945. He was one of the first American journalists to visit the Nazi concentration camps, and one of the first to write about them. Rooney stated that he had been opposed to World War II because he was a pacifist. He recounted that what he saw in those concentration camps permanently changed his opinions about whether "just wars" exist. Rooney was decorated with the Bronze Star Medal and Air Medal for his service as a war correspondent in combat zones during the war. His memoir My War recounts notable historical events and people from a first-hand view, including the entry into Paris and the concentration camps. He describes how it shaped his experience both as a writer and reporter. More
