Getting Us Into War is history and angry critique of America's move towards involvement in WWII -- first published in 1941, and assembled from Sargent's weekly "Bulletins" which commented on the first year of WWII as it happened. "What is history," he writes in his introduction, "if it doesn't give you a feel of the time, some understanding of how men lived, some comprehension of how real people behaved and why they acted as they did."
