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.

評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...
評分莫里·古皮提尔·曼宁在书中写到:“有些人读书是为了记住他们离开的家乡,有些人则是为了忘记周身所处的地狱般的环境。图书激发了他们的思想,使他们原本疲倦的心骤然兴奋。正如那封写给贝蒂·史密斯的信所说,图书既有安慰人的力量,又让人对未来充满新的希望,当人们无处逃...
