Description: "Fans of broadcaster Charles Osgood will recognize his singular voice and enjoy this memoir; those who lived through the war themselves will take pleasure in an often hilarious portrait of life on the home front; and readers of all generations will cherish a sweet and moving book about a very special time in our nation's history, when "McDonald's was only a farm in a children's song, but you could get a hamburger at White Castle for a nickel."" "Defending Baltimore Against Enemy Attack is a nostalgic slice of American life and a poignant look at World War II from the perspective of a child far away from the fighting, but very conscious of the reverberations."--BOOK JACKET.
