World War II effected the path of United States History perhaps more than any other event in the Twentieth Century.

With original newsreel footage, this video set explores such riveting topics as the new female work force, the 15 million men mobilized in the U.S. Army, the new cultural icons of Rosie the Riveter and GI Joe, and cultural developments such as swing music.
