Description

American troops begin a round-the-clock bombing attack on Germany and fight for ground in New Guinea and Sicily. With the constant threat of war on the horizon, war marriages and a rising pregnancy rate reflect America's growing appetite for love, romance and sex. This is the beginning of a sexual revolution involving bobby-soxers who later become V-girls. Changes in traditional American morality extend to criminal activity as scms, hording and a black market become part of a daily life. Worst of all, there is a growing awaremess that many are profiting from the terrible loss of life. This arresting program features an examination of the darker side of the war including an examination of the war industry, juvenile delinquency and the Zoot Suit riots.

Note: This is part 5 of a series of 10 parts.
