Hawaii Homefront: Life in Hawai'i during World War II |
|
|
|
This book tells the story of Life in Hawai'i during World War II. Hawai'i was both a home front and a war zone, the only American territory to have that distinction. Almost 40% of the Islands' permanent population was of Japanese heritage--some 140,000 people--and were classified as "enemy aliens" by the federal government, despite the majority of them being American citizens. A few men who believed in their loyalty defied the feds and kept them from internment camps of the mainland. Well over a million men and women--both service members and war workers--passed through these Islands during the war. The book is profusely illustrated and many of the images have rarely, if ever, been previously published.
