MOLLY GUPTILL MANNING is a staff attorney at the United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit and sits on the board of editors of the Federal Bar Council Quarterly. She earned a B.A. and M.A. in American history from the University at Albany and a J.D. at the Benjamin N. Cardozo School of Law. Molly lives in Manhattan with her husband.
When America entered World War II in 1941, we faced an enemy that had banned and burned over 100 million books and caused fearful citizens to hide or destroy many more. 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.
英国学者、作家萨瑟兰在其《文学趣谈》一书中有一篇小文《再续:战场上的书》,对“部队版”图书做了有趣的介绍,原来普通的英国人也有“机会”读到这种小开本图书,让我们得以从另一方面认识这些走向战场上的书的流传。进入21世纪,在2002年左右,美国为驻扎中东的士兵再度重...
评分高尔基说:“用知识武装起来的人是不可战胜的。”少年时借其自勉,青年时又觉过于冷硬:书读多了,难道不该使人豁达淡然吗?读过莫里﹒古皮提尔﹒曼宁的《当图书进入战争:美国利用图书赢得二战的故事》方才明白,单纯将读书视作乐趣,是身处和平年代的幸福,读书丰沛着内心,...
评分我对二战时期美国出版行业的最初印象,源于小赫伯特·贝利的《图书出版的艺术与科学》,在讲当成本因素变化时,市场会随之变化,并且会让出版商会也作出适当的反应时,他举例说“在第二次世界大战期间,纸张奇缺,大学生人数也很少,但对通俗读物的需求却在增长,于是商业性的...
评分第一反应竟然是羡慕,当中国勉强拼凑着用七零八落的农民士兵御敌时美国已经有足够的经济实力和文化自觉专门成立出版委员会和各种募捐机构,为前线大批量输送图书,民间募集1000万册,政府采购1.2亿,专门进行纸张、板式、选题的设计,生产大量“军供版”图书,只为了把阅读带到...
