description: This volume outlines the years between the two world wars. It is the story of how the Chamorro and the American military personnel utilized the annual budget of Naval Station Guam to slowly but steadily increase the quality of life on the island. It is also the much larger story of how Guam was used as a pawn of American foreign policy firing a period of international turmoil. It details how an innocent and fiercely loyal community of American subjects were sacrificed to the enemy. And it is the story of how the Chamorro sacrificed everything they had to survive the Japanese occupation.
