Epigraph
Dedication
FOR E. S. M. AND C. V. W.
incomparable colleagues, indispensable friends
First words
This book is not a history of the American people during the years of World War II, not even a history of the home front. [Preface]
The old-time, pipe in hand, spoke in April 1943 from a column in the Wall Street Journal that had been bought, as a public service, by the National Distillers Products Corporation, venders of liquid fantasy.
