To Make A World: George Ault and 1940s America October 28, 2011

To Make a World: George Ault and 1940s America recreates a moment when the country was rendered fragile by the Great Depression and made anxious by World War II. Although much has been written about the glorious triumph of the war, memories of the anxious mood of life on the home front--a place far from the battlefields and yet profoundly at risk--have dimmed. To Make a World sheds light on these memories and makes them newly relevant today.
