Item description from seller

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. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book.

Other policies
Please note that we cannot accept cancellation requests once an order has been placed.
All Forgotten Books titles are printed on demand. The moment an order is submitted, it is automatically transmitted to our distributor and then forwarded to the printer, where it enters production. This process begins within minutes and is entirely automated.
A cancellation, however, is a manual, multi-step request that must pass through several systems. By the time such a request reaches the appropriate stage, the book has almost always been printed, packed, or already dispatched, which makes cancellation impossible.
For this reason, we kindly ask that you double-check the title, edition, and your shipping details before placing an order.
If you change your mind after ordering, you are welcome to return the book once it arrives, and a refund will be issued in accordance with AbeBooks’ return policy.

Please also make sure your address is correct before ordering as we will no be able to intervene and make changes before the book is shipped.

We can provide digital samples for all our print books ahead, so don't hesitate to reach out.

Returns

As a small publisher we do not have the facilities to resell returned books, so any returned book will be recycled. If the book is damaged or defective please continue with the return process, and thank you for letting us know so that we can improve our products. If you’re returning for another reason, however, please consider whether you could donate or gift the book instead so that it avoids the waste pile.

Thank you in advance!
