The guide explained America and the Americans to the newlyweds before they said goodbye to their families and headed to their new life. Also included are charming stories, features, articles and poems from Good Housekeeping during the war years.

Charmingly packaged 'A War Bride's Guide to the USA' is a delightful, nostalgic, entertaining and often extremely moving insight into the day-to day lives of the wartime generation and the challenges they faced.
