When the Why We Fight films were released, young men from New York to Los Angeles and points in between were battling all over the world for their nation's survival. Told here are how Americans of all races, classes and national origins have come together to build the country; how they have traditionally protected their freedom and rights, from the Revolutionary War era to the present conflict; and, most importantly, how the events of the 1930s led to America's unavoidable entry into the Second World War. There is much priceless historical footage here: of average citizens at play and work; of the happenings throughout the world which led to the war; and of the actual fighting, compiled from both authentic newsreels and captured enemy films. War Comes to America is a powerful and patriotic reflection of its period, and an invaluable record of our country's history.
