During World War I, the US demanded that all able-bodied adult men
"work or fight." But fighting was mostly assigned to single white
men who were not engaged in "productive" work. White men who were
proper husbands and fathers, owned property, or worked at approved
jobs, and who participated in civic activities, had the full
benefits of citizenship without fighting. Women, men of color, and
poor white men were often barred from achieving these benefits.
This book uses the records of local draft boards and state draft
officials in Georgia, New Jersey, Illinois, and California to tell
the stories of men and women whose lives were touched by the
Selective Service System.
