Forward
Ernie Pyle once said that an individual G I' s knowledge of the war covered
no more ground than the few yards on either side of him. Years after our combat
days in the 89th Division, several of us wondered whether we could pool our
recollections to build a more complete picture of some memorable event we
had all experienced.
Intercative
History
In February 1999 the IF invited Chris Carlsson, the director of an interactive
multimedia history project, Shaping
San Francisco, to visit Liverpool with a view to speaking to local colleges,
schools, libraries and museums in relation to the potential for such a history
of Liverpool to be undertaken. Written, not by 'great men' but by the communities
themselves.
An alternative take on the city's street culture as Liverpool Dockers take charge of the microphone on the Yellow Duck-marine Bus. The tour lasts approximately two hours with a live commentary throughout.
