Description
The collective consciousness of World War II revolved around the virtues of bravery, sacrifice, and commitment. In fact, World War II, like all wars, was an era of sexual experimentation and a general loosening of morals. Thanks for the Memories: Love, Sex, and World War II is the true story of how that generation responded to the fervor of war and how those passions changed their lives?and the relationships between the sexes?forever. (automatically summarized from Amazon.com)Subject
