What I’m READING: When Books Went to War: The Stories That Helped Us Win World War II by Molly Guptil Manning. My sister came across this guide a few weeks in the past and instantly instructed me about it. I’ve a lifelong love of books, and this one is a treasure. It tells the story of the ASE (Armed Companies Version) books that have been printed throughout WWII and despatched to the troops serving in the course of the conflict. Earlier than this, I’d by no means even heard of the ASE books.
When America entered World Conflict II in 1941, we confronted an enemy that had banned and burned 100 million books. Outraged librarians launched a marketing campaign to ship free books to American troops and gathered 20 million hardcover donations. And in 1943, the Conflict Division and the publishing business stepped in with a rare program: 120 million small, light-weight paperbacks for troops to hold of their pockets and rucksacks in each theater of conflict. These Armed Companies Editions have been beloved by the troops and are nonetheless fondly remembered immediately.
Whereas that may not instantly seize everybody’s consideration, I discovered this story fascinating, and I very a lot loved picturing the GIs of their foxholes, and in every single place else doable, discovering moments of escape within the tales. The letters written by the troopers thanking the authors and the publishers touched my coronary heart deeply, even all these years later. I want that my grandparents have been alive immediately to inform me their very own tales and what they recall of the ASE books, in the event that they have been lucky sufficient to learn them.
