Camp Forrest

Meer over het boek

The book delves into the history of Camp Forrest, a significant military facility in Tennessee during World War II. Initially a training site for over 70,000 soldiers, it evolved into one of the first civilian internment camps for enemy aliens in the U.S. and later became a POW camp for German and Italian soldiers. Following the war, the camp was decommissioned in 1946 and transformed into the Arnold Engineering Development Complex in 1951. The narrative captures the impact of global conflict on American society, illustrated through historical images of the site.
