The third edition ofWinkler’s well-known series, Home Front USA: America during World Warll, takes a fresh look at some of the darker aspects of the war to come to grips with the complexities of the "good war", as some have called it. Winkler poses timely questions such as how did the use of atomic bombs impact the moral compass of the Allied Allies and why did they choose this path? How did the expansion of women's roles during the war affect society and how did this impact their lives? How should African-Americans be viewed in the context of the suffering of Japanese-Americans during the same time period and how should these groups be viewed against the backdrop of persecution of ethnic groups in Nazi Germany and Japan? Challenging even today because of their controversial topics, these are serious questions that demand thoughtful deliberation. This volume also ponders the experiences of all those not part of the mainstream during the Second World War whose contributions to the war effort were still important to saving the country. Despite the book’s often sobering them, Winkler shows a humanity and sensitivity that belies its sometimes brooding nature and enhances the reader's appreciation of one of history's most defining moments.
