The authors Decker and Chiei explain the history of the Quonset hut from its origins in the design of the British Nissen hut, to its role in and after World War II. The authors place the Quonset hut not only in the theater of military conflict but also in a much larger cultural and social context. The authors argue that the Quonset hut has become a symbol of America in much the same way that Coca-cola has.
