Turn back the clock with History Comics! In this volume, learn how millions of Americans joined the fight by working assembly lines, growing vegetables, and collecting scrap metal during World War II!
When we think of war, we often focus on the battlefields. But the homefront contributes to the fight too! During the war years of 1941 to 1945, Americans did whatever they could to support the troops and defeat the Nazis.
Who knew that saving bacon fat could help win the war? Or skimping on sugar? While millions of soldiers ship out to fight on battlefronts in Europe and the Pacific, millions of men, women, and children step into new and exciting roles in cities and towns all across the United States. Four curious kids take us into factories, farms, and even kitchens to show what the fight on the home-front looks like up close!
