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...

评分这是一段真实的存在。 第二次世界大战太平洋战争爆发后,美国援华空军飞虎队曾于1943年至1945年在昆明停驻,一时间云南成为美军力量较为集中的地区。美军随行中携带有不少“军供书”。70多年后,这些书的一部分辗转流传,仍然存于世上,直到最近又重见天日。发现这批书的,是本...
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1941年紐約圖書館協會募書時說:「人只要有空並享閱讀,就應該有書可讀。」之後由協會發起的活動蔓延開來,後來甚至發展為全國性募書,這樣的號召力讓人刮目相看,盡管不到兩年,活動就終止了,成效仍匪淺,甚至開啟了閱讀風潮。 令人訝異的是,原來美國平裝書的濫觴與第二次世...
