WEEK SIX---1942: Turning Points  

Overview

The purpose of this week's lecture and reading assignments is to consider several turning points that occurred during 1942.  Each of these turning points profoundly influenced both the future course of the war and eventual outcome of the war.  You think carefully, both in reflecting on the lecure and the reading materials, about the elements of what we have since designated "inevitablity" and "victory culture."  You might want to speculate on the degree to which one or several of these turning points were, in fact, not as significant as subsequent myths and historical accounts have indicated.
