Guam: References & Edit History

Additional Reading

Laura Thompson, Guam and Its People, 3rd rev. ed. (1947, reprinted 1969), is dated but remains a valuable source. An overview of economics, politics, and industry is given in William Lutz, Guam (1987). Historical works include Timothy P. Maga, Defending Paradise: The United States and Guam, 1898–1950 (1988); and Robert F. Rogers, Guam’s Commonwealth Effort 1987–1988 (1988). Guam in World War II is discussed in Tony Palomo, An Island in Agony (1984). Robert F. Rogers, Destiny’s Landfall: A History of Guam (1995), is an invaluable resource that covers the period from the first European contact to the 1990s.
