Ronald Schaffer is Professor of History at California State University, Northridge, and is the author of Wings of Judgment: American Bombing in World War II.
"Schaffer has provided an effective summary that will inform
students, enliven discussion in college courses, and remind readers
that World War I yet influences American society and
economy."--History
"A bold and provocative effort. Ronald Schaffer argues convincingly
that a revolution in America, caused by the Great War, resulted in
a war welfare state with pervasive federal government control.
Ranging from the farmyard to the battlefield, he focuses on two
themes: government's management of war and Americans' use of the
conflict to advance their personal agendas....An impressive
work."--Military History
"By far the finest account that we have of the mighty effort of the
United States at and in Europe during the First World War."--Arthur
S. Link
"A thought-provoking book that describes the U.S. government's
involvement in fostering support for the First World War in its
soldiers and citizens....Extremely well researched...and is
virtually chock full of information....For the student, historian,
or military buff interested in the First World War, this book is a
worthwhile investment. You may find, as I did, that you will want
to re-read it several times."--Over There
"A very readable text with a clear--and reasonable--point of view.
It should work well with students."--Manfred Jonas, Union College
