  Challenges the myth that young men and women went about the business of war and stayed on the straight and narrow path. This book discusses the experiences of soldiers in general, gay soldiers, African-Americans, and 'Rosie the Riveters' and other working women. It questions the post-war return to normal, seeing it as, in many ways, a charade.

  The collective consciousness of World War II revolved around the virtues of bravery, sacrifice, and commitment. Members of the Greatest Generation toed political and social lines in hopes of winning the war. They fell into lockstep, not asking many questions and breaking few social and sexual mores.
