Introduction: democracy's citadel -- Promoting the "public welfare" at Stanford University --Palo Alto schools at war -- "An avalanche hits Richmond" -- Wartime nursery schools in Richmond -- Education in a time of war.

American Education, Democracy, and the Second World War examines howU.S. educational institutions during World War II responded to the dilemma of whether to serve as b3 sweapons b4 s in the nation's arsenal of democracy or b3 scitadels b4 s in safeguarding the American way of life. By studying the lives of wartime Americans, as well as nursery schools, elementary and secondary schools, and universities, Charles Dorn makes the case that although wartime pressures affected educational institutions to varying degrees, these institutions resisted efforts to beplaced solely in service of the nation's war machine. Instead, Dorn argues, American education maintained a sturdy commitment to fostering civic mindedness in a society characterized by rapid technological advance and the perception of an ever-increasing threat to national security.
