Rhodes professor’s new book examines daily life during WWII

Rhodes College associate professor Robert Saxe doesn’t really consider himself a World War II historian, instead preferring to call himself a “political historian.”
Yet both of his books, including a new one released this fall called “Daily Life for Americans During World War II,” deal with the Second World War.
He also still teaches World War II class at Rhodes, where he joined the faculty in 2003 and now holds the title of associate professor of history.
