Gordon H. 'Nick' Mueller, PhD., former historian and Vice Chancellor at the University of New Orleans, served as Founding President and CEO of the National WWII Museum. During a distinguished career at the university, Mueller made his mark as a popular teacher, dean, and vice chancellor. He continues to lead overseas WWII tours and speaks widely on the war experience, the American Spirit, and non-profit leadership. The National WWII Museum tells the story of the American experience in the war that changed the world - why it was fought, how it was won and what it means today so that all generations will understand the price of freedom and be inspired by what they learn. Its collection features an expansive collection of first-person oral histories, on which this book is based.
