The Ganson Street Tigers Go to War

A Western New York Community's Commitment to Winning World War II

Omschrijving

During the dark days of World War II, forty-one individuals from Ganson Street in the industrialized Western New York city of North Tonawanda left all that was dear to battle the domination of the Axis forces. The Ganson Street Tigers bonded on the streets of an immigrant neighborhood during the Great Depression and their camaraderie was cemented forever on the ball diamonds and sandlots of their youth. This is their story, from the heart of "Little Italy" to the raging battlefields of Europe and the Pacific. The contributions these men and women made toward ultimate victory will leave the reader in wonder of a generation that refused defeat. Step back in time and relive an era that is quickly fading from the American psyche. It was a time when the fate of the United States rested in the hands of its heroic youth. Come experience the lives of the Ganson Street Tigers as they selflessly endure the harrowing exploits of war to help preserve the freedoms of this nation.
