About
the Series
Wars obviously have an enormous impact on those
who fight them. What about war's effect on the people back home? How does war
change and define their lives, and how does this affected populace, in turn,
shape American society? Through the copious use of primary sources,
Letters from the
Homefront
offers first-hand, sometimes poignant insight into
the impact of war on America's civilian population. Letters and diaries as well
as an array of other documents from the Revolutionary War, Civil War, World War
I, World War II and the Vietnam War combine key background information to take
the reader through the course of each war, from inception to aftermath. What
emerges is a fascinating snapshot of life on the American homefront.
