The impact on Indian affairs of World War II, it can be argued, was more profound and lasting than that of any other event or policy - including Roosevelt's Indian New Deal and efforts to terminate federal responsibility for tribes under Eisenhower. Focusing on the period 1941 to 1947, Alison R. Bernstein explains why termination and tribal self-determination were logical results of the Indians' World War II experiences.
