WWII POWs in America and Abroad by Gary Slaughter

 As I get older, I realize just how much history of the United States and of the world that I just do not know about and this is a really big part of my history as an American that I had very little idea about until I saw this book. The stories of internments camps for Japanese citizens and to a lesser extent German and Italian people in the U.S.. 

However, the idea of there being actual P.O.W. camps in the United States where captured enemy soldiers lived and worked during WWII was never something that I knew about. 

The fact that there was such a discrepancy between the Axis P.O.W.S that were taken to America and the Allied P.O.W.S that remained in Europe was striking. 

I truly don't know what to write about this book other than I absolutely recommend it to anyone and everyone. This type of history is incredibly important to learn about and the fact that we don't learn more about this period of time is truly a failing. 

The author makes notes of some of other books that he has written that are based on what he is writing about in this book and I am definitely interested in looking into other books that this author has written. 

I received this book from NetGalley and Fletcher House Publishing to review and this is my honest review. 

Five out of five stars
