- Summary
- "Coverage is broad-ranging - the narrative begins in the late 1930s, demonstrating that an understanding of World War II as a transforming event requires discussion of the prior state of affairs, and ends with a consideration of the legacy of the war and its continuing significance. Overall, this book provides an introduction to all aspects of the American experience of World War II."--BOOK JACKET.
