Review
"A fascinating glimpse of a country passing through the twilight of splendid isolation to becoming a world power." —The New York Journal of Books
"The year 1941 was the dividing line between the America of yesterday and the America of tomorrow. William M. Christie has captured the essence of this twelve month transition in all of its excitement, from Joe DiMaggio's hitting streak to the shock of Pearl Harbor. A must read for World War II and general history buffs. Informative and entertaining." Victor Brooks, author of The Longest Year: America at War and at Home in 1944
"With topics ranging from FDR’s third inauguration, to Hollywood’s latest hits, to Joltin’ Joe DiMaggio’s hitting streak, to America’s military buildup, 1941 provides a panoramic introduction to a nation standing on the brink of war. Christie’s clear prose and thematic approach immerse the reader in a world of big bands and bigger headlines. Politics, art, literature, war, work, the good and the badChristie packs the entirety of an era into one eminently readable volume." David Welky, author of Marching Across the Color Line: A. Philip Randolph and Civil Rights in the World War II Era and A Wretched and Precarious Situation: In Search of the Last Arctic Frontier
