Bøker av Lisa L. Ossian

The struggles endured by American civilians during the Second World War are well documented, but accounts of the war years have mostly deliberated on the grown-ups' sacrifices. In The Forgotten Generation, Lisa Ossian explores the war's full implications for the lives of children.

As Americans geared up for World War II, each state responded according to its economy and circumstances - as well as the disposition of its citizens. This book considers the war years in Iowa by looking at activity on different home fronts and analysing the resilience of Iowans in answering the call to support the war effort.
