On the homefront, E. B. White visits a bond rally, James Agee reviews newsreels, and Roi Ottley exposes racism in the military. Included in full is Hiroshima, John Hersey's classic account of the first atomic bombing and its aftermath.Anne Matthews is the author of Bright College Years: Inside the American Campus Today and Wild Nights: Nature Returns to the City, both published by the University of Chicago Press.
