Title: A WWII SCRAPBOOK
Review: This is a book that every Rosie the Riveter or decendant thereof should own. How easy it is to imagine life during WWII when immersed in the photo library and artifact archive Stan Cohen presents! The author clearly demonstrates a single-minded labor of love to preserve the overall personal story of this critical and singular period in American history. Another Amazon review complained about the somewhat unprofessional presentation of the materials in the book but this is exactly why I love it. It's like the very scrapbooks that the WWII generation used to put together - photos, matchbooks, dance cards, postcards, badges, sheetmusic, unusual war front news stories, posters, etc. The materials are organized in either topical or chronological chapters and thoroughly annotated. It's like finding the nation's wartime history in old box in the attic. The compendium brings history to life through the extraordinariness of the everyday objects and photos of homefront life.
