Summary

William K. Klingaman’s narrative history of the American home front from December 7, 1941 through the end of 1942, The Darkest Year focuses on Americans’ state of mind not only through what they said, but in the day-to-day details of their behavior. Klingaman blends these psychological effects with the changes the war wrought in American society and culture, including shifts in family roles, race relations, economic pursuits, popular entertainment, education, and the arts.--Adapted from publisher description
