From School Library Journal:
Gr 5-10-While World War II and its effects on American life dominate this attractive title, an introduction carefully explicates prewar conditions related to the Great Depression and the New Deal and summarizes the events leading up to U.S. military involvement in the war. Lively prose leads readers through wartime at home and abroad and on to the beginnings of the Cold War, the growth of suburban living, and the rise of television. The narrative is enhanced by its telling details and direct quotations from many contemporary sources. Shaded sidebars focus on a wide variety of topics, such as why the U.S. was unprepared for the attack on Pearl Harbor; the Holocaust; the influences of radio, movies, and comics; `40s slang; and the development of the first electronic computers. Well-chosen black-and-white photos and graphics amply illustrate the content and theme.-Starr E. Smith, Marymount University Library, Arlington, VA
