Author Says the Turmoil of World War II Still Plagues America

LOS ANGELES - EntSun -- Political analyst Earl Ofari Hutchinson promises that his new book How World War II Remade America is not another rehash of the monumental events of the nearly four years the U.S. was engaged in the war. This story has been told in many minute, carefully researched histories and accounts by many war vets, officials, military historians, scholars, and experts.

It is not a definitive study of the colossal changes that World War II ushered in. Rather, it is a broad survey, a kind of pulling together, a compilation if you will, of the specific military, security, and technical and industrial products, as well as the major political and social movements for change that shook America during and after World War II. They would not have been possible, or would have been delayed for decades, without the war.

World War II continues to be the most written about war in history. There are countless books, articles, films, biopics, and debates about battles, war tactics, strategies, armaments, and nearly every event of the war. The books by and about the men and women who fought in the battles and made and shaped World War II policy could fill up several warehouses. Not a year passes without more additions to the World War II literature, adding to this voluminous stockpile. This will almost certainly continue. World War II holds fascination for so many simply by dint of the oft repeated line taken from the title of famed author Studs Terkel's book, The Good War: An Oral History of World War II. It was "the last good war."
