Zustand: FINE. First edition. A "social history of the life and culture of the World War II home front in Wilmington and Southeastern North Carolina" based on first hand accounts, newspaper articles and the author's boyhood remembrances. Wilmington, NC became "a mighty contributor to the war effort and the country's unique wartime boomtown, earning it the right to be proclaimed as 'America's World War II City.' The area had all the armed forces stationed in large numbers, a shipyard producing 243 cargo vessels, the vital state port, industries at capacity, and German prisoner of war camps. Thousands left to fight; 191 New Hanover County boys died. It endured constant civilian defense drills and restrictions, U-boats sinking ships offshore (one fired on a defense plant), and until 1944, the threat of attack. The population nearly tripled." SIGNED on the front endpaper with the words "best wishes." Photographs, extensive notes, bibliography, index. xxvii, 318 pp. Promotional folder laid in. Very near fine in a like dustjacket.…

Jones, Jr., is a nationally known, award-winning author and military historian, He holds a University of North Carolina history degree, is a retired Navy captain and a former assistant and advance representative to President Gerald Ford.

Hawaii Goes to War also features some 125 photographs and other illustrations of the aftermath. Some of Carol Robins Jones mother's photographs are familiar army and navy official credits of images taken of Pearl Harbor, Hickam Field, and elsewhere on Oahu, particularly regarding damage and salvage. Some images have been published as "Associated Press" or with official army or navy credits. Each of her mother's images depicts how the impending Japanese threat interrupted and changed normal life in Hawaii. What Carroll recalls of the day of 7 December and for the entire war later in Los Angeles are an exceptional addition to one of the war's principal events. The remembrances and photographs add a special new dimension to the study of Pearl Harbor and World War II history." Amidst accounts of a shocked community living in the aftermath of recovery, preparations, and enormous social changes, Carroll Robins Jones shares her eyewitness remembrances as the daughter of a naval officer and a professional photographer mother accredited to the army, navy, and Associated Press who worked relentlessly to document everyday life. Carroll Robins Jones was seven years old when the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor. She watched the attack from Waikiki with her mother, a professional photographer, and younger brother. Her father was executive officer of the USS Shaw that blew up. While her father returned to sea, the family spent the next nine months on Oahu. The Joneses skillfully weave into a historical synopsis of the Pacific War's first six months Carroll's vivid remembrances of wartime Oahu and a family separated by war headed by an ambitious, dedicated, and high-strung mother and her incredible photographs taken for the army and navy and Associated Press. Most of the photos shown are her mothers and most are previously unpublished. Examined are fleet operations through the decisive Battle of Midway, ship salvage operations, civilian defense, rumors, isolation, martial law, restrictions and shortages, impact on schools and social and business life, treatment of Hawaiian Japanese, and doing without. Meanwhile the Islands were flooded with military personnel training or passing through. Hawaii Goes to War adds an exceptional personal touch to the history of Pearl Harbor in the year of its 60th Anniversary. Life in the Islands was never the same again.…
