Crucible of a Generation tells the story of fifteen fateful days that saw the America of yesterday standing hesitantly on the sidelines of a world in flames, finally plunged, not by its own will, but by the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, into a new role in a new world.
Crucible of a Generation tells the story of the fifteen days surrounding the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor through the pages of eight leading American newspapers. Focusing on publications such as The New York Times and the Chicago Tribune, J. Kenneth Brody paints a vivid picture of U.S. political culture and society at a pivotal moment in the nation's history. Brody considers the papers in full, from headlines to "help wanted" ads, in a text richly illustrated with archival images, wartime posters, and editorial cartoons. The book provides a compelling snapshot of the United States and the role of the media at a time of dramatic tension and global change.
