Comments From Other Readers “We give most of our focus on the war overseas, but there’s little thought given it seems to those that kept the world running at home. Though the overseas war effort was staggering, this book’s focus is on the behind-the-scenes endeavours that took place in the United States from 1940 to 1945. The book is laden with intricate details of the crucial, but often forgotten, war situations. It should serve as a reference book for the World War II buff and the novice alike.” Davis – New England (USA) “This is a good look at the American Homefront in the early days of WWII. It captures the different moods of the county at the time. It really is a good book to get a good sense of how America was feeling at the onset of war. I'm glad I read this book, because it gives me insight into the lives that came before us, and the way they lived. We are so spoiled!” Laura – Oregon (USA) Tags: WWII, World War Two, Home front, internment camps, isolationism, Nazi, Germany, America
