By the early 1940s, the world's major nations were locked in deadly conflict. After a surprise attack on Pearl Harbor in 1941, Americans grimly accepted the challenge of war. Millions joined the armed services. Women worked long hours in factories and shipyards. Slowly, America and its allies scored key victories. The brilliant flash of an atomic bomb in 1945 ended World War II, but opened a frightening new era. Book jacket.
