During World War II, explains Segal (Spanish, York Comprehensive High School, South Carolina and Winthrop U.) German prisoners of war were allotted to many rural communities in South Carolina as laborers mostly in agriculture and lumber, but also in a few manufacturing jobs and on some military bases to free civilian and army personnel for front-line duty. Some 8,000 to 11,000 prisoners were housed in camps in 17 counties across the state between 1943 and 1946, where US government policy was implemented locally by military administrators, civilian employers, and people of the community. She explores the development of policy and procedures, administration, the labor problem, life behind the wire, and the return home. The text is double spaced.
