North Carolina and World War II: A Documentary Portrait

North Carolina did more than its part during World War II, training troops than any other state. Can one still find the military posts and shipyards, the cemeteries and memorials, the convalescent units and R&R facilities today? This volume describes in detail the state's 20-plus military sites and remembers eight little-known North Carolina Prisoner of war camps. Images and memories tell the story of service personnel and their families who contributed to the war effort at much personal sacrifice, and how those Carolinians who remained behind did their part through rationing, Victory Gardens and War Bonds.
