This book is a comprehensive history of prisoner-of-war camps that were operated in Missouri during World War II. Every aspect of the camps is investigated, from their genesis (acquisition of land, construction, arrival of the first PWs) to their decommissioning in 1946 and everything in between. The book is rich with anecdotes of the prisoners, guards, and the Missourians they lived among.

I highly recommend this book for anyone. It is a must read for anyone with an interest in WWII history or Missouri history.

As I have gotten older, all things WW2 fascinate me. I recently came across this book in a discussion on a local Facebook page, and I was excited to be able to find it. I thoroughly enjoyed reading it, and I highly recommend this book. Thank you, David, for all the time and research. I have really enjoyed learning about the history that took place right here in my area.
