Reviews
Sandler shows how profoundly that conflict [World War II] affected the people of Baltimore. Culling newspaper archives, he finds compelling stories about regular folks pitching in, day in and day out... It seemed everyone was recruited for something, which created an overall sense of responsibility for the war's outcome.
A charming collection... If there's a Baltimorean who's not fascinated by some aspect of this book... he or she really is a lost cause.
Home Front Baltimore is a gift that will painlessly ground young people in the history of their city and encourage older folk to reminisce.
Gilbert Sandler is our great rememberer.
