Myth and the Greatest Generation: A Social History of Americans in World War II
Autor Kenneth Roseen Limba Engleză Hardback – 8 oct 2007
Including analysis of news reports, memoirs, novels, films and other cultural artefacts Ken Rose shows the war was much more disruptive to the lives of Americans in the military and on the home front during World War II than is generally acknowledged. Issues of racial, labor unrest, juvenile delinquency, and marital infidelity were rampant, and the black market flourished.
This book delves into both personal and national issues, calling into questions the dominant view of World War II as ‘The Good War’.

Myth of the Greatest Generation examines American experiences in the military and on the home front, and delves into both personal and national issues, calling into question the dominant view of the war as 'the good war', somehow better than any other conflict America's been through.
