The Darkest Year: The American Home Front 1941-194
Category: History: U.S.: 20th Century
Author: William K. Klingaman
Copyright/published Year: 2019 by St. Martin's Press
ISBN: 1250133173
Binding: hardcover
For Americans on the home front, the twelve months following the
Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor comprised the darkest year of
World War Two. Despite government attempts to disguise the
magnitude of American losses, it was clear that the nation had
suffered a nearly unbroken string of military setbacks in the
Pacific; by the autumn of 1942, government officials were openly
acknowledging the possibility that the United States might lose
the war.
Appeals for unity and declarations of support for the war
effort in the aftermath of Pearl Harbor made it appear as though
the class hostilities and partisan animosities that had beset the
United States for decades -- and grown sharper during the
Depression -- suddenly disappeared. They did not, and a deeply
divided American society splintered further during 1942 as
numerous interest groups sought to turn the wartime emergency to
their own advantage.
