This book explores the origins, challenges, and triumphs of War Camp Community Service (WCCS), an organization established during World War I to support and entertain American troops and their families. The author examines the WCCS's role in providing hospitality, recreation, community organization, and betterment services to soldiers, sailors, and marines in communities near military training camps. The book highlights the unprecedented scale of the WCCS's efforts, which involved coordinating the resources of hundreds of local communities and thousands of volunteers. It explores the organization's innovative approaches to meeting the needs of troops and their families, such as establishing community clubs, organizing dances and entertainment events, and providing information and assistance to visitors. The author argues that the WCCS played a vital role in boosting morale, fostering a sense of community, and ensuring the well-being of those serving in the war effort.
