World War II brought out the worst in humanity, but it also brought out the best. In these narratives you will draw your own lessons. 520 $a At the height of World War II, LOOK Magazine profiled a small upstate New York community for a series of articles portraying it as the wholesome, patriotic model of life on the home front.

He rescues and resurrects firsthand accounts of combat and brotherhood. 941 $a 1 952 $l TFPI826 $d 20210602011943.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=D75C7FF2C36711EB9DF7EFEA5BECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
