"\"America's home front heroes is divided into four sections: a time for heightened passion, a time for caution and prejudice, a time for flag waving, and a time for war plant women. The 34 brief oral histories within these sections capture the full diversity of the United States during the war, with contributions coming from men, women, and children of all backgrounds, including Japanese Americans, conscientious objectors, African Americans, housewives, and journalists. A treasure trove for researchers and World War II enthusiasts, this remarkable volume offers members of 'the greatest generation' an opportunity to relive their defining era. For those with no direct experience of the period, it's a chance to learn firsthand what it was like living in the United States at a pivotal moment in history\"--Publisher's website." . .
