What I'm Reading: Stark Decency

Toadstool Bookshop: Stark Decency

It turns out that the small state of New Hampshire had a german prisoner of war camp during world war II. It was requested by the paper mill companies in northern NH who were desperate for workers to cut pulp wood. This book is a fairly quick read, on an interesting piece of history that has largely been forgotten. It's a little repetitive in places, but overall it's well written and it's a fascinating story. So, if your looking for an interesting local story, I recommend it!
