'When Books Went to War' Documents World War II Project

"When Books Went to War: The Stories That Helped Us Win World War II" (Houghton Mifflin Harcourt, 2014) shows how publishers, book sellers and librarians who viewed books as "weapons in the war of ideas" mobilized to launch a program that distributed more than 122 million small, lightweight paperbacks to troops overseas.

Author Molly Guptill Manning will discuss and sign her book on Friday, Sept. 25, at noon in the Mary Pickford Theater, located on the third floor of the Library of Congress James Madison Memorial Building, 101 Independence Ave. S.E., Washington, D.C. This Books & Beyond event, hosted by the Center for the Book in the Library of Congress, is free and open to the public; no tickets are required.
