Volume 3 of a 3 Part VHS Series released by Reader's Digest in 1989.

America: The Way We Were
The Home Front
1944 to 1945
Volume Three

From the box: “The tide has turned. Postwar hopes and dreams fill American hearts and minds. But radio broadcasts and newsreels remind Americans that the fighting and dying continue. Never before has a war been captured so completely by the motion picture camera.
On the home front, President Roosevelt is reelected by a landslide; the worst circus disaster in history occurs in Hartford, Connecticut; an Army B-52 bomber crashes into the Empire State Building; the United Nations charter is drafted; and because of a newspaper strike, New York City’s mayor Fiorello H. La Guardia, reads the comics over the radio. Also share fascinating moments with Ronald Reagan, Humphrey Bogart, Frank Sinatra, Bing Crosby, Bob Hope, Joe Louis, Army veteran Hank Greenberg, and the West Point “Touchdown Twins,” Glenn Davis, and Doc Blanchard.
But the slogan “V for Victory” is on everyone’s mind as V-E Day and V-J Day approach. The joyous sights and sounds of V-J Day, a once-in-a-lifetime event, remain as moving today as they were in that not-so-far-away year, 1945.”
