America in Two World Wars relates how the United States -- hesitantly, reluctantly, and rather late -- entered into two successive wars in Europe even though many Americans felt our two oceans were a moat protecting Fortress America. The book describes the great courage shown by American soldiers, sailors, and airmen as they proved the deciding factor in what became global conflicts. On the home front, self-sacrifice and hard work bolstered the troops overseas. A Christian perspective lets us see the idolatry of leader-cults exalting Hitler, Mussolini, Hirohito. And, yes, our Russian ally, Stalin. For World War II catapulted the Soviet Union into a global superpower, just as it did the U.S., and nearly-apocalyptic nuclear weapons developed during that war loomed over the postwar stare-down between the two former allies.
