Sommario/riassunto

America's struggle against Nazism is one of the few aspects of WorldWar II that has escaped controversy. Historians agree that it was awidely popular war, different from the subsequent conflicts in Koreaand Vietnam because of the absence of partisan sniping, ebbing morale,or calls for a negotiated peace.
