Soldiers to Citizens

The G.I. Bill and the Making of the Greatest Generation

Beschreibung

Soldiers to Citizens offers critical lessons about how public programs can make a difference. Mettler finds that by treating veterans as first-class citizens and in granting advanced education, the Bill inspired them to become active participants in politics and civic organizations, and probes how this landmark law produced a civic renaissance.
