Book Review

Mexican Americans and World War II. Edited by Maggie Rivas-Rodriguez. (Austin: University of Texas Press, 2005. xxiv + 310 pp. Illustrations, notes, bibliography, index. $19.95, paper.)

These provocative questions and person/community dilemmas and the associated ramifications are adroitly addressed in this edited volume of essays.
