Download or read book Don t You Know There s a War On written by Richard R. Lingeman and published by New York : Putnam. This book was released on 1970 with total page 412 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "[This book] is the story of what happened in the United States between Pearl Harbor and V-J Day. For those ... who were in this country then, the book will be a trip down memory lane. For others, it will be pure history. For all, it will be a thorough re-creation of the events, sometimes ludicrous and sometimes tragic, and personalities that left their mark upon America during a period of transition and upheaval. V-girls and V-mail, Willow Run and Henry Kaiser, dollar-a-year men and C stickers, Sidney Hillman and Rosie the Riveter, Ernie Pyle and The Voice of the Turtle, Veronica Lake and 'Don't Sit Under the Apple Tree,' blackouts and the internment of the Japanese. These are but a few of the hundreds of phenomena of the American home front during World War II that Richard Lingeman has recaptured. Six years in the research and writing, the book exhibits as sharp an eye for small, revelatory details--civil defense measures in Wyoming, milk shortages in Texas, and one-armed outfielders--as for large and crucial subjects such as the response of industry to war and shifting population patterns that changed the face of the nation. While there is no doubt that [this book] is sheer reading pleasure (just look at the index for all you never knew or have forgotten to remember), there is equally little doubt that it is filled with insights and information that record permanent alterations in the American way of life. The war brought new, if still limited, opportunities to both the Negro and to women, and it is perhaps significant that in 1945 the two groups were thought to be worth almost exactly the same on the labor market. And if the war definitively ended the Depression, it was at the price of the military-industrial complex with which we live today. Thus the book simultaneously reveals the past and does much to explain the present. Ultimately, though, what emerges most clearly is a portrait of everyday life in America in a time of unprecedented national emergency. Predictably enough, there are heroes and villains, excesses and deprivations, valor and foolishness. Seldom has an era been so carefully and vividly brought back to life, and it is all here in a book that is destined to take its place beside Only Yesterday and The Aspirin Age as a classic of significant popular history."--Dust jacket.
Download or read book Author in Chief written by Michael B. Costanzo and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2019-04-03 with total page 249 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With the publication of his Personal Memoirs in 1885, Ulysses S. Grant established what is today known as the presidential memoir. Every U.S. president since Benjamin Harrison has written one and many have turned to other forms of writing, as well. This book covers the history of works--including autobiographies, diaries, political manifestos, speeches, fiction and poetry--authored by U.S. presidents and published prior to, during or after their terms. The writing was easy for some, harder for others, with varying success, from literary comebacks and bestsellers to false starts and failures.

Book excerpt: Dietze intervened in this scholarship by offering a comprehensive study of the work, which promoted federalism as both a means for establishing free government and securing peace within a federal state and for maintaining security under the threat of foreign powers. In addition to a theoretical examination of the text, Dietze brings in a historical component by fleshing out how its authors were shaped by the political atmosphere in which they lived and how their writings transformed political literature for generations to come
Download or read book The Crusade Years 1933 1955 written by George H. Nash and published by Hoover Institution Press. This book was released on 2013-12-01 with total page 676 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Covering an eventful period in Herbert Hoover's career—and, more specifically, his life as a political pugilist from 1933 to 1955—this previously unknown memoir was composed and revised by the 31st president during the 1940s and 1950s—and then, surprisingly, set aside. This work recounts Hoover's family life after March 4, 1933, his myriad philanthropic interests, and, most of all, his unrelenting “crusade against collectivism” in American life. Aside from its often feisty account of Hoover's political activities during the Roosevelt and Truman eras, and its window on Hoover's private life and campaigns for good causes, The Crusade Years invites readers to reflect on the factors that made his extraordinarily fruitful postpresidential years possible. The pages of this memoir recount the story of Hoover's later life, his abiding political philosophy, and his vision of the nation that gave him the opportunity for service. This is, in short, a remarkable saga told in the former president's own words and in his own way that will appeal as much to professional historians and political scientists as it will lay readers interested in history.

Download or read book An Undercurrent of Suspicion written by George Sirgiovanni and published by Transaction Publishers. This book was released on with total page 242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The one period that most students of anti-Communism have ignored is the years of the Second World War, when the United States and the Soviet Union briefly stood together as allies against Nazi Germany. During this period, criticizing the Soviet Union and the Communist party abruptly went out of fashion. But even then, there were Americans who chose to be unfashionable. These leaders and opinion-makers are the subject of Sirgiovanni's An Undercurrent of Suspicion. This book demonstrates that the "undercurrent of suspicion" against the Soviet Union, and communism in general, was considerably stronger under World War II than many Americans realize or recall. Many long-time anti-communists refuse to go along with the quasi-official moratorium on criticizing America's Soviet ally, and although the war granted the Communist Party of the United States an unaccustomed degree of legitimacy, this was by no means universally conceded, either. The resilience of such attitudes n what surely were the most auspicious years of the U.S.-Soviet relations contributes to our understanding of why a far more virulent and widespread Cold War mentality of mistrust and hostility burst forth so soon after the Allied victory. Many issues that contributed to the Cold War had been raised during the alliance, such as the political and territorial makeup of Eastern Europe. Those who assumed that the U.S.S.R. could never be trusted to act in a spirit of justice and compassion included conservative politicians, anti-communist labor leaders, right-wing newsmen, Catholics and Protestant fundamentalists, and American Socialists-all of whom Sirigiovani discusses at length. These individuals also insisted that the domestic Communist movement, despite its "patriotic" wartime line, remained in the service of today's ally but tomorrow's probably adversary, Joseph Stalin's U.S.S.R. An Undercurrent of Suspicion will of considerable interest to anyone interested in communism ad anti-communism, American politics, and the history of ideas, especially as they relate to political issues. The general reader will the book provides a new dimension to the war years, and in so doing helps explain the deep background of the Cold War.
