Deeply isolationist Americans finally become convinced to enter World War II against Hitler in a decade marked by war. Hollywood responds by producing war films, newsreels, and escapist musicals.... This description may be from another edition of this product.
I purchased this book for a 1940s literature & culture college course. The book succeeds in providing summaries, facts & figures, and explanations for the decade's top economic, social, political, and cultural issues. This book is written in a very simple and 'just an overview'-esque style, so it is mainly targeted to (and perfect for) junior high/high school students needing some background information about this time in American history. "A Cultural History of the United States: 1940s" would make a great addition to any secondary school library.
