Protest or revolutionary literature is the culmination of
social, political, intellectual and economical information that results in the
evocation of emotion and inspires change. The University of Iowa’s Digital
Library categorizes the diaries and letters written to and from soldiers during
World War II. Although the Nazi Germany attacked Poland in 1939 and began the
second world war, the United States did not enter World War II until December
8, 1941.
The collection of diaries and letters are intended to be used mainly
for academic purposes.
The letters and diaries written at this time reveal the
thoughts and emotions that often were not expressed publically for fear of
societal rejection. Although the war ended nearly 74 years ago, the archive is
relevant to modern political controversies. However, today we communicate
through forms such as texting, email, Facebook, Twitter, and Snapchat.
