"In the first book-length treatment of the German prison-of-war experience in Florida during World war II, ... tells the story of the 10,000 men who were "guests" of Uncle Sam in a tripical paradise that for some became a tropical hell. Concentrating especially on the story of Camp Blanding in North Florida, Billinger based his research on both American and German archives. His account mixes rare photos with interviews with former prisoners; reports by the Red Cross, the YMCA and the US military; and local newspaper articles."
