The Hollywood Canteen was the jewel in the crown of World War II
Hollywood. From 1942 to 1945, over three million servicemen came
through its doors on their way to fight in the Pacific - some never
to return. There, in a converted barn in the heart of Hollywood,
soldiers were fed, entertained by and danced with some of the
biggest stars in the world. The Canteen was free to all servicemen
or women, regardless of race, inviting them to jive to the music of
Kay Kyser and Harry James, laugh at Bob Hope's jokes, be handed
sandwiches by Rita Hayworth, or dance with Hedy Lamarr. Knowing
they were so appreciated, the soldiers were armed with the kinds of
hope and encouragement that would help them win a war. "The
Hollywood Canteen: Where The Greatest Generation Danced With The
Most Beautiful Girls In The World" is the only complete history of
the Canteen. Meticulously researched, it is filled with exclusive
interviews and over 160 evocative photographs that preserve the
memories that would otherwise be lost.
