The Great War: An American Musical Fantasy investigates the role the recording industry played in promoting the war effort to the American public and traces the history of American involvement in the war by seeing the kind of records that were released. What unfolds is a drama in which the U.S. transforms through a series of stages: from curious bystander and political neutral to naive dove, then from idealistic booster to jingoistic hawk, and finally from jubilant victors to street-wise questioners asking "What was it all for?" The Great War features a 76-page, full-color booklet with original research on how the recording industry engaged with the war effort, a poignant personal reflection by collaborator Clarence Johnson, historic photos, and uncommon illustrations.
