On rare occasions in American history, Congress enacts a measure so astute, so far-reaching, so revolutionary, it enters the language as a metaphor. The Marshall Plan comes to mind, as does the Civil Rights Act. But perhaps none resonates in the American imagination like the G.I. Bill. In a brilliant addition to Oxford's acclaimed Pivotal Moments in American History series, historians Glenn C. Altschuler and Stuart M. Blumin offer a compelling and often surprising account of the G.I. Bill and its sweeping and decisive impact on American life. Formally known as the Serviceman's Readjustment Act of 1944, it was far from an obvious, straightforward piece of legislation, but resulted from tense political maneuvering and complex negotiations. As Altschuler and Blumin show, an unlikely coalition emerged to shape and pass the bill, bringing together both New Deal Democrats and conservatives who had vehemently opposed Roosevelt's social-welfare agenda. For the first time in American history returning soldiers were not only supported, but enabled to pursue success--a revolution in America's policy towards its veterans. Once enacted, the G.I. Bill had far-reaching consequences. By providing job training, unemployment compensation, housing loans, and tuition assistance, it allowed millions of Americans to fulfill long-held dreams of social mobility, reshaping the national landscape. The huge influx of veterans and federal money transformed the modern university and the surge in single home ownership vastly expanded America's suburbs. Perhaps most important, as Peter Drucker noted, the G.I. Bill "signaled the shift to the knowledge society." The authors highlight unusual or unexpected features of the law--its color blindness, the frankly sexist thinking behind it, and its consequent influence on race and gender relations. Not least important, Altschuler and Blumin illuminate its role in individual lives whose stories they weave into this thoughtful account. Written with insight and narrative verve by two leading historians, The G.I. Bill makes a major contribution to the scholarship of postwar America.

By analyzing US Education Department data on college expenditures and student outcomes, it is possible to report how much or how little colleges are spending on student instruction and whether students are benefitting. Of the 10 colleges charging taxpayers the most overall Post-9/11 GI Bill tuition and fee payments from FY 2009-17, totaling $5.4 billion, seven spent less than one-third of students’ gross tuition and fees on instruction in 2017 and struggled with outcomes: Less than 28% of their students completed an award or degree and only half (52%) earned more than a high school graduate. In contrast, students who attended top-10-grossing GI Bill schools that spent more than one- third of gross tuition on instruction had a 60% completion rate, and two-thirds earned more than the average high school graduate. Overall, 378 institutions meet our metrics for “Best Instructional Bang for the GI Bill Buck.” These schools spend at least 50% on instruction, while also showing that at least half of their students complete and earn more than the average high school graduate after attending. Four schools represent the “Bottom of the Barrel,” charging taxpayers $83 million in Post-9/11 GI Bill tuition and fees in 2017, but spending less than 10% of their gross tuition revenue on student instruction. The three of these four for which outcomes data is available left only one in four students (26%) with a credential in hand and just a little more than half (51%) earning more than a high school graduate.

With the passage of the Post-9/11 GI Bill in 2008, more than 1.4 million service members and their families became eligible for higher education benefits, and veterans from the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan enrolled in colleges and universities in record numbers. The first wave of research about these new student veterans focused primarily on describing their characteristics and the transition from military service to civilian life and the college campus. This new edited collection presents findings from the second wave of research about student veterans, with a focus on data-driven evidence of academic success factors, including persistence, retention, degree completion, and employment after college. An invaluable resource for educators poised to enter the next phase of supporting military-connected college students.

Finnegan, colonel (retired), executive director, Military Initiatives and Partnerships, Office of the President, University of Louisville "One of the more compelling issues of our time is the integration of returning veterans and service members into our society following their service to our country. This handbook will be a critical tool in guiding higher education professionals in developing strategies to ensure their success in college." —Kevin Kruger, president, NASPA–Student Affairs Administrators in Higher Education "This timely book explains and presents a new meaning of 'called to service.' The issues and vignettes bring to life real situations that will be facing all campuses. I highly recommend this valuable resource to those looking forward and not back." —Gregory Roberts, executive director, ACPA–College Student Educators International "I have waited over forty years for such a comprehensive handbook to be written about the challenges, opportunities, and rewards that are associated with providing higher education to America's veterans—our future leaders. Well done." —Robert E. Wallace, Vietnam veteran and executive director, Veterans of Foreign Wars of the U.S., Washington Office

Greenberg (emeritus, government, American Univ.) served in World War II and earned his academic degrees under the G.I. Bill of Rights. He describes the history of the legislation (officially entitled The Serviceman's Readjustment Act of 1944) and discusses the importance, success, and lasting legacy of the bill. Its major benefits are discussed in detail: financial support while unemployed, assistance for educational programs ranging from specific job training to higher education, and loans for home, business, and farm ownership. Although much of this information is covered in Michael J. Bennett's When Dreams Come True: The G.I. Bill and the Making of Modern America, Greenberg's inclusion of many photographs and personal stories of U.S. servicemen and -women creates a more memorable and compelling account. This book is recommended for public and academic collections.
