DOWNLOAD EBOOKThe Servicemen's Readjustment Act of 1944 (G.I. Bill) has been acclaimed as one of the most influential pieces of legislation ever past. Interviews with seven World War II veterans, the first veterans eligible to receive this benefit, are the essence of this book. Participants talk about their pre-war families, military experience, post-war life, and the influences the education provision of the G.I. Bill had on their live-course.

Most of us study the war from the viewpoint of General Eisenhower or President Roosevelt. Each of these stories helps to complete the quilt of the American experience known as World War II. The only way to truly honor Americaas veterans is by remembering what they have done to preserve the ideals of this nation. These stories are an attempt to fulfill the call of Abraham Lincoln, ato care for him who shall have borne the battle.a

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThe paucity of scholarly literature on World War II veteran readjustment might lead one to believe these nearly sixteen million men and women simply took off their uniforms after the War and reintegrated into society with ease. Mark D. Van Ells path-breaking work is the first serious analysis of the immense effort that was required to avoid the potential social decay so often associated with veteran reintegration. To Hear Only Thunder Again explores the topical issues of educational, health, employment, housing, medical, and personal readjustment faced by veterans while continuously situating these issues against the backdrop of society's political response. Never before, or since, had Americans taken such a keen interest in veterans' affairs. While post-World War II America was spared the problem of veteran unemployment and while veterans were not associated with crime and political disorder--as had often been the case after World War I--the package of readjustment benefits devised that allowed for such a smooth transition was extremely expensive. Veterans of later wars never received as much assistance and consequently experienced more difficulty returning to civilian life. Van Ells' work ensures that these lessons of the Second World War are not entirely lost. To Hear Only Thunder Again provides an unprecedented exploration of a period largely neglected by military historians.

Bill. Indiana University in the postwar period was more than double its prewar size ... To understand what happened at Indiana University from 1945 to 1951, one must understand the impact of veterans on the institution"--P. 95-96.
