Shipped with care. --- A single-volume reference work on the United States during the 1940s, edited by James G. Ryan and Leonard Schlup. The dictionary treats the decade as a continuous era rather than dividing it between the Second World War and the early Cold War, and gathers close to six hundred concise entries on figures, institutions, events, court cases, and cultural, economic, social, political, military, and technological developments of the period. Each entry closes with a short list of further readings pointing to three sources that address the subject at greater length. Coverage is centred on the United States but situates American affairs within a wider international frame. The alphabetical dictionary is followed by a chronology of the years 1940 to 1949 and by eighteen appendices reproducing primary documents of the decade, among them Wendell Willkie's acceptance speech and an extract from One World, Stalin's broadcast to the peoples of the Soviet Union, Togo Shigenori's address to the Imperial Diet, Roosevelt's war message to Congress, Hitler's declaration of war on the United States, Mussolini's war statement, a passage from Ernie Pyle's Here Is Your War, the Yalta agreement, Truman's announcement of the atomic bombing of Hiroshima and his inaugural address, Justice Robert H. Jackson's opening speech for the prosecution at Nuremberg, Churchill's Iron Curtain address, statements on the Truman Doctrine and the Marshall Plan, Eleanor Roosevelt on human rights, and Learned Hand on the spirit of liberty. A general bibliography closes the volume.…
