NEW Arcadia Publishing Washington D.C., DC 9780738516363 Images of America Trade The valiant story of the nation's capital facing the challenges of World War II told in over 200 rare, historical images that bring the past to life.As the country prepared for World War II, the nation's capital took center stage. Washington residents witnessed the local population nearly double in a few short years, as a mostly female work force descended on the city, while its male population was sent off to combat in Europe and the Pacific. Washingtonians planted victory gardens, ran scrap drives, and suffered the effects of severe rationing along with the rest of the nation, while military personnel manned anti aircraft batteries around the city. New government agencies were created and existing ones expanded dramatically-most doubled their workforce and constructed hundreds of temporary facilities on the Mall and throughout the city. Washington also witnessed the construction of the largest office building in the world, the Pentagon, which was completed in just 16 months. Washington, D.C.: The World War II Years captures nearly 200 fascinating images from this era. These archival photographs chronicle the beginning stages of war preparation, little known civic defense organizations, VE and VJ celebratory parades, and the overall spirit of the continually persevering capital city.

Received very fast and was extremely well packed. I was a bit confused by the price on the listing as it had a discount offered, so I thought I was getting the discount. But when I asked the seller about it, they said the discount was only good for a minimum purchase of 3 items. I don't think this was a seller problem, I think EBAY should have better clarification to make sure there is no confusion. So I ended up paying full price. Lesson learned. The book was as described.
Quality was first rate. The book seemed brand new; appearance was perfect and uncreased. It was carefully bubble wrapped and packed inside a cardboard wrapper for media, as I mentioned it was a Xmas gift and was concerned - it might get damaged in shipment, but NO, it got the very BEST care and packing, despite being a paperback. I feel I got great value for my money, and the best consideration possible from the seller. I HIGHLY recommend the seller! A++++
Great value for a vintage magazine about Columbus, GA of great quality and appearance. The appearance, quality, and condition are exactly as pictured and described. Packaging was great - care was taken to ensure that no damage could occur during shipping. The item was packed and shipped immediately. A seller who cares about their products, accurately describes, packs and ships immediately = great customer satisfaction.
