The book, To Win The War: Home Front Memorabilia Of World War II is a companion volume to the author's earlier publication "V For Victory, America's Home front During World War II".  While "To Win The War: Home Front Memorabilia Of World War II" is neither a definitive book on World War II era memorabilia nor a price guide as such, it does take the reader on a nostalgic trip back in time to World War II and for those who did not live through this era, it is a representative summary of the memorabilia produced during the war.  The many World War II era items photographed for this book came from the following seven collections: 1) Gary Skoloff; 2) Martin Jacobs; 3) Jack Matthews; 4) Jim Osborne; 5) Ken Fleck; 6) Merve Bloch and 7) Stan Cohen.  The themes of these collections are as follows: 1) Heavy emphasis on paper items; 2) Large V for Victory collection; 3) Emphasis on World War II toys; 4) Large collection currently housed in the Indiana Military Museum; 5) Anti-Axis propaganda collection; 6) Large pristine collection of bubble gum cards & German military items and 7) Small but representative sample of World War II memorabilia.  The purpose of most of the World War II era memorabilia was to vilify the enemy and bring Americans together in the patriotic struggle against the Axis powers.  The major sections of "To Win The War: Home Front Memorabilia Of World War II" are as follows: 1) Not At War, Not At Peace; 2) Remember Pearl Harbor (Pin And Covers); 3) Early Battles And Heroes (Wake Island, America's First War Souvenirs, Doolittle's Tokyo Raid, April 18, 1942, The Movie "Thirty Seconds Over Tokyo" & The Legend Of Colin Kelly); 4) V For Victory; 5) Propaganda (Bubble Gum Cards, General Douglas MacArthur, Matchbook Covers & Tobacco Products, Punch Boards and Cinderellas); 6) Civilian Defense (Spotting Enemy Planes); 7) Music And Movies Of The War (The Movies & Stage Door Canteen); 8) The Nations Magazines Go To War; 9) War Maps Of The World; 10) Food For Victory; 11) Financing The War; 12) Rationing And Scrap; 13) Transportation; 14) The Arsenal Of Democracy; 15) For The Troops (USO); 16) Correspondence; 17) Children And The War; 18) Odds And Ends; 19) F.D.R.; 20) The End At Last; 21) About The Contributors and 22) Bibliography.  In addition to an informative narrative, " To Win The War: Home Front Memorabilia Of World War II" includes the following features: 1) Approximately 145 black and white photographs; 2) About 674 color photographs and 3) 2 pages of "Victory Pins" in color.  This book is 178 pages and is in excellent condition.  The author and publisher is Stan Cohen.  Edition published in 1995.
