The first personal narrative about World War II was published two
months after America entered the war on December 8, 1941. Between
then and the year following the end of the war, over 500 of these
narratives were published to feed the public's need to know about
the war. These eyewitness accounts, written by war correspondents,
service men and women, home front civilians, and defense workers,
were a welcome change to the stark military dispatches printed in
the daily press. Great Stories of World War II provides a fully
annotated, bibliographic listing of each of these sources.
Additionally, each entry includes citations for any reviews the
work received in any of six major American reviewing journals. This
unique guide provides personal insights into race relations, sexual
conduct, combat, missionary life, life as a prisoner of war,
concentration camp experiences, and military and civilian politics
of the war years from both the male and female perspective.
Remarkably detailed and generally uncensored, these disclosures of
life during the Second World War constitute an invaluable and
underutilized resource for historians, geographers, and students of
this great historical event.
