The 1940s from World War II to Jackie Robinson
註釋Author Stephen Feinstein takes the reader on a journey back to the age of big band music, bobbysoxers, and Frank Sinatra. Tracing the changing attitudes of Americans through the decade, Feinstein shows how World War II helped end the poverty and despair of the Great Depression, ushering in a new time of prosperity in which Americans felt comfortable to pursue their dreams of home ownership and family. From Pearl Harbor to Rosie the Riveter, from the atomic bomb to zoot suits, Feinstein examines the fashions, fads, and events that make this decade memorable.
