When the Home Front
had its First Birthday

“In the twelve months since Pearl Harbor the American family has begun to experience war on the home front… More of the story is told by what has happened to members of the family themselves: the son in the armed forces, the father in civilian defense, the mother in a war job, and the daughter in one of the volunteer services. The vast tasks and migrations of war have affected countless millions of homes beyond the power of statistics to reveal. As in Europe, the impact is falling on every family. But the full force of it has hardly been guessed.”
