North Carolina's Shining Hour Images and Voices from World War II

Drawn from the accounts of those who lived it, this powerful chronicle of our state during World War II commemorates the extraordinary actions of ordinary North Carolinians on the battlefield and the home front, the indomitable spirit of a patriotic people in a time of peril and sacrifice, and the ways in which the Good War” changed us forever. An extensive collection of photographs — the majority of which have never been published — complements this snapshot of North Carolina in wartime and honors our state’s heroic contributions to the nation’s efforts to secure peace in the world.Best, Mary F. is the author of 'North Carolina's Shining Hour Images and Voices from World War II', published 2005 under ISBN 9780972339650 and ISBN 0972339655.
