520    "Wartime Basketball tells the story of basketball’s 
       survival and development during World War II and how those
       years profoundly affected the game’s growth after the war.
       Prior to World War II, basketball—professional and 
       collegiate—was largely a regional game, with different 
       styles played throughout the country. Among its many 
       impacts on home-front life, the war forced pro and amateur
       leagues to contract and combine rosters to stay 
       competitive. At the same time, the U.S. military created 
       base teams made up of top players who found themselves in 
       uniform. The war created the opportunity for players from 
       different parts of the country to play with and against 
       each other. As a result, a more consistent form of 
       basketball began to take shape"--Publisher's website.
