The 1940s were a decade of great change worldwide, not just in the U.S. but on a global scale. The effects of World War II were felt in the latter half of the decade and the entertainments and arts industries had to fight to stay afloat.
This book looks at influential developments in literature, film and music in the 1940s and innovators like Akira Kurosawa, Ernest Hemingway and George Orwell.
