Grade 9 Up--An accessible, well-organized volume that focuses on "what it felt like to be an American" during this period. Each chapter covers one aspect of the war from the isolationism/interventionism debate that began in the 1930s to victory and beyond. A chronology of events and pages of testimony from people involved follow. The coverage of the preparation for war, the government's involvement, and the role of the civilian are also considered. The numerous eyewitness accounts include the voices of well-known people, not all Americans: Neville Chamberlain, Charles Lindbergh, Franklin D. Roosevelt, Eleanor Roosevelt, etc. Civilians and soldiers are also heard through quotes from medics, nurses, journalists, war brides, and others. Appendixes contain excerpts from documents paramount to the management of the war effort such as FDR's address to Congress in 1941 and the dissent in the case of Korematsuv. United States. Average-quality, black-and-white photos and reproductions are found throughout. Eighteen maps clearly outline the war in the Pacific, the division of Berlin, the location of Japanese-American concentration camps, and more. This useful volume offers a good blend of historical fact and primary-source material.--Julie Webb, Shelby County High School, Shelbyville, KY
