The Way It Was
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 19 years ago
I was born in 1945, just a few months before the end of WWII. I grew up with the stories of shared sacrifice, rationing, war bond drives, and Rosie the Riveter (who was my mother -- well, not literally, but she did work in a defense plant). This book is an amazing look at the home front during The War (and we always heard it with the Capital Letters). I've read it twice and my mother read it three times before her death; I have her word for it that it is all true. Dennis Mansker www.dennismansker.com [...]
Interesting and well written
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 22 years ago
This book is about American society and culture during World War 2. It discusses many different aspects of civilian America, such as the musical tastes of the public, what people were reading, movies, work, business, and housing among other things. It is quite a good, informative book, and the author presents his subject in an interesting, occasionally funny manner. If there is any criticism of this book it is the fairly abrupt beginning and ending.
