Soldiers to Citizens: The G.I. Bill and the Making of the Greatest Generation
Mettler, Suzanne (Alumni Associate Professor of Political Science at the Maxwell School of Citizenship and Public Affairs, Alumni Associate Professor of Political Science at the Maxwell School of Citizenship and Public Affairs, Syracuse University)
Soldiers to Citizens offers critical lessons about how public programs can make a difference. Mettler finds that by treating veterans as first-class citizens and in granting advanced education, the Bill inspired them to become active participants in politics and civic organizations, and probes how this landmark law produced a civic renaissance.
