Description

When World War II engulfed the nation, the men and women of Akron dutifully played their part in the epic struggle.

Keyes Beech ducked grenades as marines raised the American flag at on Iwo Jima.

Newspaper magnate John S. Knight watched the Japanese surrender on the USS Missouri just five months after his son was killed in Germany.

On the homefront, Goodyear manufactured blimps used to hunt down Nazi submarines, and noted Beacon Journal cartoonist Web Brown pledged his talent and his pen to boosting morale at home and abroad.

Replete with more than one hundred images, including many of Brown's wartime drawings, this thrilling account by local author Tim Carroll recalls all that Akron gave for freedom.
