Hollywood's South Seas and the Pacific War explores the
expectations, experiences, and reactions of Allied servicemen and
women who served in the wartime Pacific. Viewing the South Pacific
through the lens of Hollywood's South Seas, Americans and their
Allies expected to find glamorous women who resembled the famous
'sarong girl, ' Dorothy Lamour. But Dorothy was nowhere to be seen.
Despite those disappointments popular images proved resilient, and
at war's end the 'old' South Seas re-emerged almost unscathed.
Based on extensive archival research, Hollywood's South Seas and
the Pacific War explores the intersections between military
experiences and cultural history.
