American participation in world war 1

America’s Participation in the World War I.

Library research no.3

The books that I am going to use in my research paper are as follows:

· Bennett, W. (2006). America : the last best hope. Volume 1, From the age of discovery to a world at war 1492-1914 . Nashville, Tenn: Nelson Current.

This is the first book in a two-volume survey of American history. While acknowledging “great wrongs” in the American past, Bennett contends that the story of the United States is, on the balance, a positive and inspiring one. He follows this introduction with a highly readable overview of the American experience, from the European exploration of the New World to. the outbreak of World War I. America The Last Best Hope opens a doorway to the rich heritage of the United States.

· Edy, C. (2017). The woman war correspondent, the U.S military, and the press, 1846-1947. Lanham, MD: Lexington Books.

This dissertation chronicles the history of American women who worked as war correspondents through the end of World War II, demonstrating the ways the military, the press, and women themselves constructed categories for war reporting that promoted and prevented women’s access to war: the “war correspondent,” who covered war related news, and the “woman war correspondent,” who covered the woman’s angle of war.

· Cobbs Hoffman, E. (2017). The Hello Girls: America’s first women soldiers . Cambridge, Massachusetts: Harvard University Press.

This is the story of how America’s first women soldiers helped win World War I, earned the vote, and fought the U.S. Army. In 1918, the U.S. Army Signal Corps sent 223 women to France. They were masters of the latest technology: the telephone switchboard. General John Pershing, commander of the American Expeditionary Forces, demanded female “wire experts” when he discovered that inexperienced doughboys were unable to keep him connected with troops under fire. Without communications for even an hour, the army would collapse. The. book reveals the bravery and grit of the nation’s first women soldiers.
