When Books Went to War: The Stories that Helped Us Win World War II by Molly Guptill Manning

4.0

Fantastic historical research done here. I learned so much about WWII, military history, publishing history, library history, etc. Docking 1 star because I wanted to learn more about how women and minorities were impacted by the books (or not), I would have liked to have read more about how books reached the Pacific Theater, and I did not appreciate the author’s atomic bomb puns in the limited content dedicated to the Pacific front.
