Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book offers a unique look at the massive construction program that occurred in the United States during World War II. The author takes readers through the process of building temporary housing for a rapidly expanding army, providing valuable insights into the challenges of wartime mobilization. By focusing on the barracks, the book explores the development of building designs from the 1930s through the war years. The author delves into the history of standardization, prefabrication, and the evolution of design principles that incorporated essential amenities like central heating and indoor plumbing. The book goes beyond a mere chronicle of construction, examining the political, social, and economic context that shaped the mobilization effort. Readers will discover how public opinion, legislation, and even the anxieties of mothers influenced the standards for housing American troops. The book underscores the significance of these seemingly simple structures within the larger landscape of American social history and architectural innovation. The author's deep research reveals the lasting impact of this massive building program on the U.S. Army, the construction industry, and the nation as a whole.
