Hawaii Goes To War

By DeSoto Brown


World War II's disruptions were felt throughout the United States, but nowhere more strongly than in Hawaii. From the shock of the Pearl Harbor attack in 1941 through the years of change and restrictions that ended with peace in 1945, the islands underwent an experience unlike anywhere in the country. 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 mainland war workers and personnel lived in tent cites and sought fun and companionship on Honolulu’s notorious Hotel Street. Fascinating text and hundreds of rare photographs.
