"What was World War II like in a town with one of everything -- one movie theater, one dance band, one 73-year-old pugilist, one saxophone virtuoso & one Congressional Medal of Honor winner? This is a valuable work of grassroots history," according to William Smock, documentary filmmaker & Executive Producer of Isamu Noguchi: Stones & Paper. NEXT YEAR IN SALEM describes the activities of a small rural upstate New York town. Cormier relates a community's patriotic reaction to the draft, war time rationing, movies, music, dances, metal & paper drives, War Bonds, airplane spotting, air raid drills, farming, & Victory gardens. Learn how women & children worked in war production jobs, & how women in the armed forces proved their value. Personal stories, letters, pictures & poems capture the humor & sadness of everyday life on the home front as well as on the war front. Important local, county, state, & national events & the major land & sea battles of WW II cited here give one a unique perspective of these war years. The stories, reflecting the social, cultural & personal impact of WW II had on all Americans, make the book suitable for leisure readers & historical researchers alike.
