描述
Personal Perspectives: World War II brings to life the experiences of specific segments of soldiers and civilians as they were affected by the conflict, capturing special characteristics of each group and the unique ways they experienced the war. Twelve essays written by top international scholars portray what it was really like to experience the war for groups ranging from marines, naval aviators, and liberators of concentration camps to prisoners of war, refugees, and women in factories.Of interest to both students and nonexperts, the book tells the stories of Japanese Americans forced into internment camps and African Americans who experienced intense discrimination, the call to activism, and opportunity in the armed forces. It offers the perspectives of Navajo "code talkers," diplomats like U.S. ambassador to Poland Anthony J. Biddle, who fled his post to avoid death, and scientists who worked on the Manhattan project, thereby introducing the most destructive form of warfare known to humanity.

It was the world's first "total war," fought with terrifying new technologies and claiming ten million lives. It was when the term "home front" was coined, as for the first time the families and civilians behind came to be actively involved in the conflict in their own right. Now the awesome experience of World War I comes to life in this innovative volume, which offers an unprecedented portrait of the conflict through the eyes, ears, and voices of the soldiers, civilians, and families caught up in it.With compelling immediacy, Personal Perspectives: World War I lets the everyday people drawn into the war speak for themselves. The essays here put readers directly into the lives of soldiers under attack in the trenches, women working in factories, African American soldiers, pacifists, medical personnel, and other groups both on the battlefield and at home. The variety and depth of the experiences recounted here will enrich anyone's understanding not just of one war but of all armed conflicts.

Through the perspectives of commanders, captives, civilians, and social workers, readers will learn why British soldiers in the Netherlands were called "maiden robbers," how the YMCA set up huts to care for prisoners in POW camps, and how efforts to entertain U.S. troops led to the the largest theatrical enterprise in history.
