Summary
A working-class family from upstate New York gives their all to their homeland's efforts to win World War II.
In mid-1942, the heat of combat in the Pacific Theatre rises. The eldest offspring of the Hachman family takes the fight to the enemy with his submarine, battling enemy forces from Midway Island to the south coast of Japan. Meanwhile, his younger sister, a locomotive maintainer for the Boston & Maine Railroad, and their younger brother, a locomotive fireman, discover that their self-serving division superintendent is making an illicit deal with an engine manufacturer - an underhanded deed that causes needless risk to the lives of submariners like their brother and his shipmates.
Their youngest sister has a private battle of her own to fight. Oddly behaved but highly intelligent, she has an unusual fixation on aviation that inspires her to turn her abnormally sharp eyes to the sky as a civil defense observer - much to her parents' disapproval.
In 1942, no end of the war is in sight. From the Hudson Valley to the depths of the Pacific, every member of the Hachman clan will do what they must to make safe the future of the world - even if it means the ultimate sacrifice.
