In this new work, Culpepper retains her interest in military conflict but expands her focus on the activities of women….Here she chronicles various aspects of US participation in WW II. Chapters focus on theaters of action, branches of military services, pivotal campaigns, and the contributions of all aspects of US society to the war effort--military and civilian, overseas and on the home front. Culpepper's use of oral history conveys to readers the personal tension, sacrifice, and suffering that Americans encountered and experienced during the war. Her narrative is informative and engaging….Public libraries will want this book. Academic libraries supporting courses on WW II and public history programs should also add it to their collections. Highly recommended. All public and academic levels/libraries.
