Sommario/riassunto

A pioneering effort to reinvent the way we look at history and childhood, this book views the experiences of ordinary children through the lens of developmental psychology. Tuttle argues that the Second World War left an indelible imprint on the dreams and nightmares of an American generation, not ony in childhood, but adulthood as well.
