In 1932, 45,000 World War I veterans marched on Washington, D.C., demanding payment of the bonus promised to them eight years earlier. The "bonus bill" was defeated in the Senate, and the U.S. Army deployed tanks in the capital's streets to rout the protestors. Based on extensive research, this highly praised history traces the Bonus Army's history and its connection with the GI Bill of Rights, which transformed postwar American society.
