 Book Description 1990 marked the 50th anniversary of the American Military presence in Newfoundland and Labrador. In this spectacular review, the author describes the highlights of each major US base and other installations from 1940 to 1990. Vintage photographs and documents illustrate the importance and significance of events during this period and leave the reader with the full realization of the military importance placed on Newfoundland and Labrador during the five decades from 1940 to 1990. During the years of the Second World War, over 750,000 American servicemen passed through the many US bases and installations; over 100,000 were stationed here for a number of years; over 25,000 married Newfoundland women. While many papers have been written on the social and economic effects the Americans had on the people of Newfoundland and Labrador A Friendly Invasion - The American Military in Newfoundland: 1940-1990 by John N. Cardoulis is the first factual story of fifty years of change in Newfoundland's History. The accomplishments and achievements by the American Forces, and the benefits to the Newfoundlanders as a result of their presence, are described and illustrated. | |
