The Oxford Handbook of World War II

How the Few Became the Proud: Crafting the Marine Corps Mystique, 1874-1918
Until the passage of the National Security Act of 1947, the U.S. Marine Corps often faced existential threats. Many naval officers in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries campaigned to remove Marines from their warships, and they were successful for a moment under President Theodore Roosevelt. In the American Civil War, Marines played a relatively minor role and, afterward, critics of this service periodically called for its absorption in…

Michael Snape. God and Uncle Sam: Religion and America’s Armed Forces in World War II
Michael Snape has written widely on religion and the British military; he now turns his attention to the U.S. in God and Uncle Sam: Religion and America’s Armed Forces in World War II. Challenging Paul Fussell’s characterization of World War II as primarily a secular conflict, Snape argues that religious values permeated the armed forces’ institutional culture, especially in the U.S. Army. Despite constitutional strictures, the armed forces devot…
Sword of the Spirit, Shield of Faith: Religion in American War and Diplomacy
In Sword of the Spirit, Shield of Faith Andrew Preston draws attention to the important role that religious ideas and institutions have played in shaping America's relationship with the world. More than simply a synthesis of existing scholarship, this work is based on an immense amount of archival research, drawing on the holdings of several presidential libraries, theological schools, and the papers of several religious denominations. The publis…
Keith L. Camacho. Cultures of Commemoration: The Politics of War, Memory, and History in the Mariana Islands
Reading this monograph made me rethink the way I teach about the impact of World War II on American society. While it is accurate to underscore that the continental United States was almost completely unscathed by the war, the same did not apply to U.S. territories in the Pacific region. Keith L. Camacho recounts how those living on Guam endured three years of occupation by Japanese forces, as well as the inherent dangers of living in the midst o…

Doughboys, the Great War, and the Remaking of America
When historians write about war, they often finish the story when the peace terms have been concluded. But Jennifer D. Keene's book is different. To be sure, she examines how the federal government during World War I assembled, trained, deployed, and demobilized the nation's first conscript army, yet she also explores what happened to the doughboys after they returned home, taking the story through the creation of the American Legion and the ulti…

The Barbed-Wire College: Reeducating German POWs in the United States during World War II
Phi Beta Kappa: The Invention of an Academic Tradition
The rise of the modern American university between the Civil War and the Great Depression is a familiar story. In this relatively short span of time America acquired a host of universities that offered extensive graduate training, stressed research over teaching, and largely abandoned the prescribed common curriculum in favor of greater individual choice. Some of these new universities, like Chicago, Cornell, and Stanford, were created ex nihilo.…
