Summary

History professor David Kennedy explores the indissoluble link between the Great Depression and America's attitude during World War II. Still reeling from the economic disaster of the 1930s, America was wary of entering into the war, which was perceived as a European conflict. However, the attack on Pearl Harbor reawakened the American spirit, and the resulting war strengthened the country's industrial and military prowess
