The War Comes to Plum Street

By Bruce C. Smith

(Bloomington: Indiana University Press, 2005. Pp. xiii, 308. Illustrations, sources, index. $29.95.)

New Castle, Indiana, native Bruce C. Smith has written a fascinating local history of World War II and its impact on his hometown. The War Comes to Plum Street tells the story of Smith's own family, along with that of other New Castle residents who belonged to the "Greatest Generation," those Americans whose lives and characters were formed during the Great Depression and World War II. Drawing extensively from oral history interviews, newspaper accounts, high school yearbooks and other local sources, Smith has produced a sensitively written social history that encourages readers to understand the wartime years in a new light.
