Synopsis "World War II and Nevada: The Silver State's Contribution to Victory (in English)"
World War II and Nevada is an in-depth examination of the state's role in the war. Nevada's geographic location, land, sky, mineral resources, and the sacrifices of its people were crucial to victory--and transformed the state. The war brought the first significant development of the gaming industry; the introduction of a huge, permanent military presence; the diversification of its population; and a shift in political and economic power within the region. Nevada's previously unexamined role in the internment of Japanese Americans is explored, and so too is the role of women and minority groups in support of the war. The book concludes with a comprehensive list of those killed, wounded, or made prisoners of war during the conflict. Weller provides the most thorough analysis of Nevada's war effort to date and historians will find the book a valuable addition to their World War II history collections.
