Description:

There’s history, and then there’s oral history. And when it comes to the impacts of war on those who fight them — oral history opens doors to the past that would otherwise stay firmly shut. Michael Petrou, an historian with the Canadian War Museum, argues oral history is especially valuable because it allows us to hear from people whose "voices are quiet, downplayed, or ignored." He adds these untold stories helps create a fuller picture of how war shapes people and societies.
