One series that’s worth a special mention is The American Experience in World War II (D 769.A2 A44 2003, 12 vols.). This is a collection of previously published articles from scholarly journals. Each volume covers a different topic, such as the home front, American diplomacy, and the role of minorities and women. The volumes may be checked out, but be mindful of your fellow scholars and return the volumes at your earliest convenience.
