Home Front U.S.A.

Beschreibung

New scholarship on World War II continues to broaden ourunderstanding. With each passing year we know more about thetriumphs and the tragedies of America's involvement in themomentous conflict. Tapping into this greater awareness of theaccomplishments of both soldiers and civilians and a betterrecognition of the consequences of decisions made, Allan Winklerpresents the third edition of his highly popular series volume. Informed by the latest historical literature and featuring manynew thoughtfully chosen photographs, the third edition of HomeFront U.S.A. continues to ponder the question of "the good war,"the moral implications of the use of the atomic bomb, theimplications of expanding wartime roles for women, AfricanAmericans, American Jews, the imprisonment of Japanese Americans atthe hands of the federal government, and the experiences of themany other people who, though relegated to the fringe of mainstreamsociety, contributed in important ways to the nation's successfulprosecution of its greatest challenge.

Praise for a previous edition:"There are three major attributes to this book that help to make it a readable and useful supplement to a survey course. These are its chapter introductions, its judicious use of quotes and interpretations from recent scholarship, and the bibliographical essay. ...These lend authenticity and relevancy to the work and are, not incidentally, good models through which to encourage students to use the same techniques in their own writing." (Teaching History, 1986)
