World War II was truly the largest and greatest conflict in U.S.
history. We Were in the Big One: Experiences of the World War II
Generation is a collection of diary entries, letters, photographs,
and other documents from that era. Carefully selected from the
Eisenhower Library's World War II Participants Collection and other
archives, this material-generated in response to the historical
events themselves-reflects the mindset of the people who produced
it. These documents shed light on one of the most important periods
of American history. We Were in the Big One is one of the first
books to make primary source material on this era widely available
for use in the classroom. These contemporary documents reveal a
great deal about the attitudes of the World War II generation
toward matters such as gender, political beliefs, race, religion,
social and cultural mores, and personal values. With a concise
introduction and headnotes that introduce each document, Prof.
Parillo provides an interpretive framework that puts the selections
in context for students. Parillo shows how the war affected
Americans across gender lines, across social and political
spectrums, on the home front, and on the battlefield. This
compelling text enables students to discover how the war truly
influenced an entire generation of Americans. We Were in the Big
One is an excellent resource for courses in American
twentieth-century history, World War II, and U.S. social and
cultural history.
