The Arsenal of Democracy Home Front USA

It's tempting to view the Second World War primarily through the lens of combat, but students of American history must also look at the transformation that occurred on the home front, in the rhythms of daily life, and of the structure of the nation itself. This is the story of how the United States of America reinvented itself at home while its soldiers fought in the greatest war on history's bloodstained pages. Join us every Monday for new episodes and discussions, and on Thursdays for "Sketches in History" and pop quizzes.
