Daily Lives of Civilians in Wartime Modern America: From the Indian Wars to the Vietnam WarDavid S. Heidler, Jeanne T. Heidler Bloomsbury Academic, 30/01/2007 - 182 páginas In post-Civil War America, civilians were ordinarily far-removed from the actual fighting. War brought about tremendous and far-reaching changes to America's society, politics, and economy nonetheless. Readers are offered detailed glimpses into the lives of ordinary folk struggling with the privations, shortages, and anxieties brought on by U.S. entry into war. They are also shown how they strove to turn changing times to their advantage, especially civically and economically, as minorities pressed for political inclusion and traders profited from government contracts and women took on well-paying skilled jobs in large numbers for the first time. |
