Days of sadness, years of triumph;: The American people, 1939-1945 by Jeffrey Perrett. hardcover edition. ISBN: 9780698104884.

First published in 1973, Geoffrey Perrett’s portrait of war-time America was immediately hailed as a major retrospective. Perret vividly describes the social, political, and economic fabric of American domestic life from 1939 to 1945, and argues that the World War II years precipitated a crucial, if silent social revolution at homeâ one that continues to reverberate today.
