C. Scott Littleton's memoir of growing up in Hermosa Beach, California offers a unique and intimate portrait of life on the beach during World War II. 2500 Strand focuses on the years the Littleton clan occupied the beach front property of 2500 Strand. This touching personal history elucidates how one American boy saw the events of a world in peril: from the news of France's capitulation to Germany in 1940, to the tumultuous years in the wake of Pearl Harbor, the underlying war hysteria of Japanese internment camps and nightly air raid drills, and a first-hand account of the famous and unexplained "Battle of Los Angeles." With his typical scholarly insight, attention to detail, and deep love of history, Littleton's memories are unforgettable.Littleton, C. Scott is the author of '2500 Strand : Growing up in Hermosa Beach, California, during World War II', published 2007 under ISBN 9781897244326 and ISBN 1897244320.
