      abstract = {In this compelling book, G. Kurt Piehler and Sidney Pash  bring together a collection of essays offering a fresh  examination of American participation in the Second World  War, including a long overdue reconsideration of such  seminal topics as the forces leading the United States to  enter World War II, the role of the American military in  the Allied victory, and war-time planning for the postwar  world, but also tackle new inquiries into life on the home  front and America's commemoration of one of the most  controversial and climatic events of the war-the dropping  of the atomic bomb on Hiroshima. These outstanding  historians cover crucial moments such as: Franklin D.  Roosevelt's pivotal, if at times indecisive, role in  leading the United States The miscalculation of Japanese  intentions by American diplomats and the failure of  deterrence in preventing war in the Pacific The experiences  and contributions of conscientious objectors to American  society in this time of total war The decision of the  United States to fight with an ineffective battle tank at  the expense of American lives The Coast Guard's  contribution to the D-Day Landing How elite foreign policy  organizations prior to V-J Day sought to influence American  occupation policies regarding Japan With these essays and  much more, The United States in the Second World War is  sure to prove a classic to World War II buffs.},
