520 8 _aDespite Puerto Rico being the hub of the United States' naval response to the German blockade of the Caribbean, there is very little published scholarship on the island's heavy involvement in the global conflict of World War II. 'Island at War' brings together outstanding new research on Puerto Rico and makes it accessible in English.
