V for Victory: America's Home Front During World War II
The author does not pretend that this is the definitive chronicle of World  War II. Yet this remarkable compilation of photographs and memorabilia will bring  back vivid memories of the era for those who lived through it, and--better yet--make it  intensely real for those who did not experience it firsthand. Stan Cohen clearly  remembers it all: victory gardens; scrap drives; air raid drills; women welders and drill  press workers; children in gas masks; Fiorello La Guardia and the Civilian Defense  Corps. There's even a photo of Joe Cobb ofOur Gangcomedies working on a  B-52 bomber.
