Description
"More than 12 million American men and women entered the U.S. armed forces during World War II, and millions more worked and sacrificed at home to help the Allied cause to defeat the Axis powers. At the close of the war, America had become the leading nation on the global stage, and its veterans returned home to forge a vibrant postwar society. Written under the direction of two historians, The World War II Desk Reference explains, with statistics, time lines, and maps, the global cataclysm that was World War II." "The book also includes a resource on national World War II monuments, organizations, and museums."--BOOK JACKET.
