The U.P Goes to War: Upper Michigan and it's Heroes in World War II

At last-a book celebrating the Upper Peninsula men and women who helped win the war! Read tales of incredible bravery, daring escapes, homefront patriotism, and why Yoopers made such good soldiers. You'll meet a Navy carrier pilot saved by a bottle of ammonia, a Yooper who knew Hitler, and a rifleman who ran a jungle sawmill... stories of pilots, frogmen, a 10th Mountain Division hero, paratroopers, riflemen, shipwrecked sailors, women fliers, men in foxholes, POWs, homefront workers, and many more.

There are over 2,000 names: U.P. admirals and generals, Pearl Harbor fatalities, and our Medal of Honor winners. Learn about U.P. war industries, rationing, censorship, bond and scrap drives, overseas reunions, wartime sports, and the six U.P. confinement camps. The book was written by Larry Chabot of Marquette, who has studied and written about World War II for years.
