NYC EVENT: Home Fronts

Please join us for a reception and discussion on the recently published Home Fronts: A Wartime America Reader, with editors Michael S. Foley and Brendan P. O'Malley.

"Home Fronts is a wide-ranging and long overdue collection. From the war with Spain to the war on terror, Foley and O'Malley reveal the intricate connections between overseas conflicts and American social, economic, political, and cultural history."
-- Andrew J. Huebner, Professor of History, University of Alabama, and author of The Warrior Image: Soldiers in American Culture from the Second World War to the Vietnam Era

"Song lyrics, letters, speeches, executive orders, manifestos--these are some of what can be found in Home Fronts, a rangy, unpredictable, and thoroughly fascinating documentary collection that awakens curiosity about American life during wartime."
-- Christian G. Appy, Professor of History, University of Massachusetts Amherst, and author of Patriots: The Vietnam War Remembered From All Sides

This event is co-sponsored by The Arms and Security Initiative of the New America Foundation.
