Synopsis

Crucial to the Allied victory in World War II was American war mobilization. The transformations of industry and society which made it possible for the United States to become the "arsenal of democracy" constituted an upheaval that forever changed the character of American life. Winkler is careful to put the effects of these transformations in the context of trends already underway before the war, but argues that the war itself created the patterns of postwar America. Home Front U.S.A. deals with a host of issues and events in a straightforward way: the exigencies of mobilization; the experiences of women and of blacks and other minorities in the war; the plight of Japanese Americans; the popularization of the war effort; politics during the war; and the changes that occurred in government.
