Remember Pearl Harbor!

Those were the slogans Americans called out to each other on the home front during WW II. They forged their days surrounded by fellow patriots sharing in the greatest endeavour of their lives: winning the war.

The American Home Front in WW II presents the striking story of those times starting with little-known events well before Pearl Harbor - the clashes between isolationists and those favoring intervention and America's first peacetime draft.

The shock of Pearl Harbor transformed America from a peacetime country to a full wartime economy. Factories produced an airplane every sixty-one minutes. Women and Blacks entered the workforce as never before bringing about earthshaking changes.

Americans describe in their own words the rigors of everyday life: rationing, air raid drills, rigging up black curtains and scrap drives.

But Americans found ways to enjoy themselves- movie attendance swelled with films such as Casablanca while Broadway brought audiences Oklahoma. The music of Glen Miller and the voice of a skinny newcomer named Frank Sinatra had Americans swinging and swooning.

The American Home Front in WW II brings this story to life to capture the extraordinary level of patriotism and teamwork on the home front. It truly was a time when there were no strangers.
