Outraged librarians launched a campaign to send free books to American troops and gathered 20 million hardcover donations. In 1943, the War Department and the publishing industry stepped in with an extraordinary program: 120 million small, lightweight paperbacks, for troops to carry in their pockets and their rucksacks, in every theater of war. Comprising 1,200 different titles of every imaginable type, these paperbacks were beloved by the troops and are still fondly remembered today. Soldiers read them while waiting to land at Normandy; in hellish trenches in the midst of battles in the Pacific; in field hospitals; and on long bombing flights. They wrote to the authors, many of whom responded to every letter. They helped rescue The Great Gatsby from obscurity. They made Betty Smith, author of A Tree Grows in Brooklyn, into a national icon. When Books Went to War is an inspiring story for history buffs and book lovers alike."--Publisher's website. 520 $a Chronicles the joint effort of the U.S. government, the publishing industry, and the nation's librarians to boost troop morale during World War II by shipping more than one hundred million books to the front lines for soldiers to read during what little downtime they had. 630 00 $a Armed Services editions (Series) $x History. 650 0 $a World War, 1939-1945 $z United States $x Literature and the war. 650 0 $a Books and reading $z United States $x History $y 20th century. 650 0 $a Publishers and publishing $z United States $x History $y 20th century. 650 0 $a American literature $y 20th century $x History and criticism. 650 0 $a War in literature. 650 7 $a HISTORY $x World War II. $x World War II. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a HISTORY $x Veterans. $x Veterans. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a HISTORY $x United States. $x United States. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a American literature. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00807113 650 7 $a Books and reading. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00836454 650 7 $a Publishers and publishing. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01083463 650 7 $a War and literature. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01170442 650 7 $a War in literature. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01170505 651 7 $a United States. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204155 610 27 $a UmschulungswerkstaÌtten fuÌr Siedler und Auswanderer $g Bitterfeld $2 gnd $0 (DE-588)10090522-5 650 7 $a Literatur $2 gnd $0 (DE-588)4035964-5 650 7 $a Amerikanisches Englisch $2 gnd $0 (DE-588)4094804-3 650 7 $a Weltkrieg $g 1939-1945, Motiv $2 gnd $0 (DE-588)4133624-0 650 7 $a Buchdruck $2 gnd $0 (DE-588)4008598-3 650 7 $a Books and reading $z United States. $x History. $2 sears 650 7 $a War in literature. $2 sears 650 7 $a HISTORY $x World War II. $x World War II. $2 sears 650 7 $a Publishers and publishing $z United States. $x History. $2 sears 650 7 $a World War, 1939-1945 $x Literature and the war $z United States. $2 sears 650 7 $a HISTORY $x United States. $x United States. $2 sears 650 7 $a American literature $x History and criticism $y 20th century. $2 sears 650 7 $a HISTORY $x Veterans. $x Veterans. $2 sears 648 7 $a 1900-1999 $2 fast 655 7 $a Criticism, interpretation, etc. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411635 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 941 $a 1 $n 1 952 $l SAPG074 $d 20210601115756.0 $n 4 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=332A8136AC3311EB98A411E3203FDB2A 994 $a C0 $b IOZInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
