Included with each chapter is a section on other WWII home front history, including gasoline rationing, civil defense, war bonds, v-mail, scrap drives and women working in the defense industry. Illustrated with historic posters and over 180 WWII era ration recipes, this truly is an interactive history book.

"This reminds me of the dishes that my mother prepared. Like many cooks, Mom learned to make great meals out of virtually nothing using recipes like this."
