The story of Hawaii during World War II as shown through a fascinating text and hundreds of rare and historic photographs. World War II's disruptions were felt nowhere more strongly in US territory than in hawaii. The attach on Pearl Harbor in 1941 and the enusing years of martial law and a war economy caused the islands to undergo a unique experience.
Everyone had to live with mail censorship and special U.S. currency under a fully entrenched military government. Residents of all ages toted gas masks, huddled in backyard air raid shelters, and spent nights under curfew in blacked out homes. The flood of military personnel and mainland war workers lived in tent cities and sought fun and companionship on Honolulu's notorious Hotel Street.
