The Hampton Roads Communities in World War II

This book touches on the social, economic, and governmental changes that occurred during the war--the changes that took place, all over the country but were intensified in the Hampton Roads and Virginia Peninsula area. The hectic experiences of this vital center in adjusting to difficult conditions should help other defense-affected regions of the country.
