Overview
Still reeling from the hungry days of the Great Depression, America
was ill-equipped when the nation entered the Second World War.
Referred to as the “sleeping giant” by the Japanese, the United States
awoke from its slumber with a vengeance and soon began creating a
veritable tidal wave of production that turned the country into the
“Arsenal of Democracy.” Tulsa, Oklahoma, was one of the cities at
the forefront of this massive wartime buildup. From bomber plants
to aviation training schools, to civil defense and the construction of
military bases, to the thousands who served in uniform across Europe
and the Pacific, Tulsa gave everything it had and then some. This was
a different breed of people that nonetheless stood firm in the face of
adversity and came together as a community. Tulsa: The War Years
takes the reader back to the time when people did without for the
greater benefit of all and sometimes sacrificed everything for the sake
of victory.
