Blum, John Morton,
V.
Was
for
Victory
. New York, Harcourt Brace Jovanovich, 1976.
This book offers an interesting picture of American culture during World War II. Especially useful to me was the analysis of the picture of the enemy presented by popular magazines, novels, and films.

This
Fabulous
Century
(1940-1950). New York, Time-Life Books, 1969.
I will use the photographs in this volume in my teaching of
At
Home.
There is a fairly detailed account of the relocation camps in this volume. Other areas are sketchily presented.
Harris, Mark Jonathan,
The
Homefront
. New York, G. P. Putnam’s Sons, 1984.
This book is a fascinating oral history of life on the homefront; it presents the lives of everyday people in their own words.
The
Homefront
raises issues my students can discuss and write about.
