East Tennessee in World War II (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781540203205)

Like every other red-blooded American, East Tennessee residents did all they could to help end World War II. Locals like Petie Siler signed up for service, despite having fought in World War I. Oak Ridge residents worked expeditiously on the Manhattan Project, gathering uranium-235 to fuel the first atomic bomb. Knoxville s Rohm & Haas Chemical Company branch furnished Plexiglas for aircraft. Military veterans Dewaine A. Speaks and Dr. Ray Clift detail the unified sacrifices and contributions of East Tennessee s honorable soldiers and civilians."
