A fabulous double CD of the music of the war years interspersed with news flashes of great historic importance. A wonderful trip down memory lane for those who remember these years and a great historic resource for those who do not. The selection of the music is outstanding!

These are the songs the country was singing and listening to during World War II. It is always interesting to know what music America was listening to during various stages in its history and this two CD set contains an excellent sample of the songs that were popular during this period. I wasn't familiar with all the songs, but I have heard of most of them. Prior to being aware of this music set, I introduced a number of these songs to 4th and 5th graders in a volunteer class and they enjoyed listening to them and singing along to the words. I bought a number of this CD set as a surprise gift for them and I know they will enjoy it when I send it to them. It showed me that kids will enjoy old music if they are introduced to it. You will enjoy these songs whether you remember them or not. This is the way it was. Listen!

This song reminds me of my army days in New Guinea
