Cardozier provides a comprehensive and engaging look at the role played by colleges and universities in World War II, the contributions they made to the war effort, and the impact of the war on higher education institutions.

This book captures the wartime mood and spirit of the American people, something that is not easily conveyed to younger readers who did not directly experience these times.
