On The Way To The War by Naomi Mitchell.
ISBN 978-1-60264-862-3 (Softcover). 226 pages.
A childhood spent as part of a military family, following
her Army dad around the country just before and during
WWII was a very different and exciting adventure than most
kids’ daily lives. Camp life, happenings and events give
a completely new slant on what life was like with the Army
on the move, preparing for WWII. What was it like aboard
a military transport loaded with thousands of troops,
crossing the ocean to the Philippines in 1946? Taking a
train across the US in 1942 was an adventure in and of
itself. Dad was a hard living, hard drinking, expert
firearms officer, who could be cruel and abusive, but who
would have guessed he would also be capable of holding
his family hostage?
