We Were in the Big One: Experiences of the World War II Generation by Mark P. Parillo, ISBN 0842027971

$22.03

To the generation that lived through it, World War II will always be the "Big One." Archie Bunker would proudly proclaim in the 1970s sit-com All in the Family, "I was in the Big One, Double-ya, Double-ya Two." In doing so, he intoned the creed of his generation. In the generations that have followed, there has been renewed interest in this period, evidenced by the popularity of movies like Saving Private Ryan and the television series Band of Brothers. World War II was truly the largest and greatest conflict in U.S. history. Americans spent more tax dollars, joined the armed forces in greater number, fought in more places, and waged war as part of a grander alliance than in any other war in the country's past. We Were in the Big One: Experiences of the World War II Generation is a collection of diary entries, letters, photographs, and other documents from the World War II era. Carefully selected by Mark P. Parillo from the Eisenhower Library's World War II Participants Collection and other archives, these documents show how the war affected Americans across gender lines, across social and political spectrums, on the home front, and on the battlefield. This compelling book demonstrates how the war truly influenced an entire generation of Americans. We Were in the Big One will inform and entertain all those interested in World War II and American history.

American Experience: Chicago - City Of The Century

"City of the Century" tells how, in just 60 years, Chicago grew from a remote, swampy frontier town into one of the most explosively alive cities in the world. It's the story of the wealthy and the indigent, the heralded and the forgotten, the shop assistants and the millionaire retail barons who together created Chicago. It describes how through innovation, ingenuity, determination and sheer ruthlessness, the captains of industry created empires in a marshy wasteland. And it explores the hardships endured by the millions of working men and women - most of them immigrants from Ireland and Northern Europe - whose labor helped a capitalist class reinvent the way America did business.

Take a trip around the world without leaving Chicago.
Explore Chicago's ethnic diversity from onboard the 'L'!, This guided front-row tour is a unique, elevated glimpse into the history, cultural life and architectural features of the city's diverse neighborhoods.
