基本説明

This book uses the records of local draft boards and state draft officials in New Jersey, Illinois and California to tell the stories of men and women whose lives were touched by the Selective Service System.

Full Description

During World War I the U.S. demanded that all able-bodied men work or fight. White men who were husbands and fathers, owned property or worked at approved jobs had the benefits of citizenship without fighting. Others were often barred from achieving these benefits. This book tells the stories of those affected by the Selective Service System.
