God bless America : Tin Pan Alley goes to war

"In God Bless America: Tin Pan Alley Goes to War, Kathleen E.R. Smith documents this attempt to stir up support for the war through popular music, arguing that it was ultimately a misguided failure. Examining the two foremost music business publications of the years 1941-1945, Variety and Billboard, and documents from the OWI, Smith provides an intriguing history of the way government and entertainment interests combined for a common cause."
