frontline soldiers and their families
Studies of World War II often focus on the millions who fought so bravely, many of whom ultimately lost their lives. But learning only about soldiers and battlefield maneuvers doesn't give a clear picture of the full impact of war. These troops had families at home as well as working in hospitals, factories, and helping out the war effort in other ways. These people, too, should be recognized and understood for their contribution. This comprehensive book, complete with a timeline of the war and numerous primary sources, provides readers with valuable information about this terrible war, on the frontlines and at home. Black and White Photographs, Full-color photographs, Timelines, Primary Sources, Sidebars, Glossary, For Further Information Section, Index.
