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 评分在军供版图书中,有一部中国作家的作品,那就是老舍的《骆驼祥子》。 军供版《骆驼祥子》出版于1945年12月,编号为968(BB系列),英文书名为 Rickshaw Boy(非军供版原书封面印有“洋车夫”三个汉字),译者为Evan King(伊万·金)。伊万·金,原名Robert S. Ward,Evan Kin...
评分二战中的军供版图书运动在世界政治格局之外,至少还改变了两样事情,一是西方甚至全球的图书装帧,此前几乎都是大百科式的精装本,在这个运动的影响下,我们看到了现在常见的平装书;二是那一批参战并幸存的美国老兵,战前大多都不读书,到战争结束时,他们中很多人都在前线读...

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.
