Hotel Street Harry

Ask any Gi who served in the Pacific during World War Two if he "climbed the stairs" on Hotel Street in downtown Honolulu, Hawaii, and if he says "Yes" the feller has a story to tell you. Hotel Street was the military's best kept open secret and probably helped win the war. At least Harry thought so. That would be "Hotel Street Harry," the newspaper byline of an anonymous U.S. Army reporter who felt it his solemn and sacred duty to investigate and inform the ranks of soldiers, sailors, marines and coast guarders of the "goings-on" and "what-have-yous" happening in the Gi carnival, as Harry "advisedly" described it, that was wartime Hotel Street. Compiled into one volume for the first time, the complete works of Hotel Street Harry, March 1, 1943 to May 12, 1945.
