*Lone Star Stalag: German Prisoners of War at Camp Hearne*. By Michael R. Waters. (College Station: Texas A&M University Press, 2004. xv + 268 pp. Illustrations, tables, bibliography, index. $29.95.)
Just off Highway 6 northwest of the small town of Hearne lies a significant World War II historic site mostly obscured by the brushy vegetation of Central Texas. Camp Hearne is just one example of the many prisoner of war camps located in Texas. This historical and archeological study of Camp Hearne establishes the position of this prisoner of war camp, and that of others around the state, within the larger story of World War II.	1
Americans view the World Wars as conflicts that primarily occurred elsewhere, impacting our lives, but not our soil. The role of this country as a repository for foreign prisoners of war is often forgotten. Yet they were shipped to America by the thousands. In an effort to tell the story of the 5,000 German prisoners sent to Camp Hearne during World War II, author Michael Waters takes a three-prong approach including archival documentation, oral histories, and archeological study. The result is a satisfying historical account of the camp from its inception through its present status.	. . .
