Item — Call number MU Thesis Pel
Identifier: b2089958
Introduction [excerpts]
The fundamental goal of this study is to understand how soldiers viewed organized religion, as well as theism in general, amidst the horrors of the Second World War.

Women encountered what a modern audience would identify as sexual discrimination and harassment, and consequently developed coping mechanisms that allowed them to flourish in a nontraditional work environment. This paper explores the gender integration of the U.S. Army Signal Corps, discusses the integration's implications and...
