Advanced American Studies
Today we began our study of WWII by noting the concept of "total war," the idea that WWII engaged entire societies, and unified Americans like no time before or since.
Assignment: Read Ch. 14.1 "Dictators and Wars". Read carefully, you will take a quiz tomorrow on the topics presented in the text.
American History
To further our study of WWII, we today began viewing the film Flags of our Fathers. Based on the best selling novel of the same title by James Bradley, the film focuses on the iconic Joe Rosenthal photograph of the flag raising on Iwo Jima and the story of the men who fought there and raised the flag. Be prepared to discuss the impact of the picture, what defines heroic action, and what the impact of Iwo Jima was on the course of the war.
