America at war, from the ground up: a revealing portrait of how ordinary people help win a global conflict. This nonfiction work follows a nation in motion, showing how battles extend far beyond battlefields into towns, farms, shipyards, and schools. Through vivid scenes and firsthand voices, it maps the daily choices, worries, and acts of sacrifice that keep a country united in purpose.

In these pages, readers meet farmers, students, workers, and service members across the United States. The narrative ties their experiences to the larger war effort, exploring how communities cope with shortages, strikes, and shifting jobs while sustaining hope for a postwar future. It also discusses the challenges of race relations, labor relations, and government policy as the nation rallies for victory at home and abroad.
