The story of people in one average midwestern city --Oshkosh--who were thrust into World War II, to experience it on the Homefront or in faraway lands confronting fierce enemies. The stories told here are representative of those heard in hundreds of cities across Wisconsin and across the nation.

Oral histories from citizens of Oshkosh provided material for the book.
