• Sommario/riassunto: Altschuler and Blumin offer a compelling and surprising account of the G.I. Bill and its impact on American life. Formally known as the Serviceman's Readjustment Act of 1944, it was far from an obvious, straightforward piece of legislation, but resulted from tense political maneuvering and complex negotiations.
