Essays are needed for the volume, "The Roaring Twenties, Great Depression, and World War II, 1920-1945," which will be published in late 2008 as part of Facts on File's "Conflicts in American History" series. Each essay must cover a broadly defined area of political or cultural conflict in American history during the interwar years or World War II, and should be written for a target readership of AP high school students and college undergraduates. Each essay should be 2,000-3,000 words, and should be accompanied by a timeline and annotated bibliography.
If you would like to contribute an essay for this volume, please email Dr. Dan Williams (dkw@westga.edu) for submission guidelines and additional information. Each essay will be due three months after the author signs a contract to write on one of the assigned topics.
