Postwar: waging peace in Chicago

Type Book

Rate 0.0 /5

Featuring a fine-grained history of Chicago's working class, Postwar investigates what the aftermath of World War II meant to a broad swath of Americans and finds a working-class war liberalism--a conviction that the wartime state had taken things from people and that the postwar era was about reclaiming those things with the state's help.
