Although America entered the war relatively late, it played a critical role in tipping the scales against Germany and its allies and in shaping the war’s aftermath. The book’s hundreds of photos tell the stories of the U.S. soldiers, sailors, airmen, politicians, and citizens on the home front who helped the Allies win the war. Donald Goldstein and Harry Maihafer have produced a vivid account of the war that forever altered the destinies of America and Europe.

It hardly seems an American war at all, considering we fought for scarcely over a year in a primarily Euro...
