Days of Sadness, Years of Triumph The American People, 1939–1945 Geoffrey Perrett First published in 1973, Geoffrey Perrett's portrait of war-time America was immediately hailed as a major retrospective. Perret vividly describes the social, political, and economic fabric of American domestic life from 1939 to 1945, and argues that the World War II years precipitated a crucial, if silent social revolution at home — one that continues to reverberate today. Geoffrey Perret holds a master's degree from Harvard University. He is the author of five books, including Between Two Worlds: America in the Twenties.   Media & bookseller inquiries regarding review copies, events, and interviews can be directed to the publicity department at publicity@uwpress.wisc.edu or (608) 263-0734.
