This was a really good, but different kind of book. The author goes from one thing to another, whether its grabbing headlines, or completely changing the subject.

2022 book #72. 2022. Culled mainly from newspapers of the time a day-to-day look at America from Jan-April 1945. An interesting look into what life may have been like for my parents who would have been about 19. War news, but also pop culture, crime, even advertisement text.
