Reviews

Lisa Ossian's book is a serious contribution to the literature on childhood. Through wide research and a careful reading of the literature on World War II and on children in war, she provides a valuable addition to our understanding of both. - Paula S. Fass, author of Children of a New World: Society, Culture, and Globalization The pioneering studies by Susan Hartmann, John Jeffries, and Allan Winkler offer important insights about the American home front during the Second World War. Lisa L. Ossian's study is a welcome addition to this collection because it adds insights about the lives of children in this volatile period. Americans who grew up during the war were a generation sandwiched between the so-called Greatest Generation and the Baby Boomers. Their lives deserve the careful and sensitive attention Lisa Ossian provides in this important study. - Kriste Lindenmeyer, author of The Greatest Generation Grows Up: American Childhood in the 1930s
