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

5.0

It was amazing to learn about what impact the Armed Service Editions had on America and the soldiers of World War II. I had no idea any of this was happening, and I think it should be taught in history classes, at least a little. It really changed the publishing world and made a lot of soldiers interested in read. I can only imagine what comfort these books had for those soldiers as the sole source of entertainment. I was completely engrossed while reading this account of a forgotten part of the war. I would recommend it to anyone who loves learning about World War II or who is a bibliophile as I am.
