Book excerpt: Yank is the fascinating weekly newspaper that was dedicated to the GI Joe of World War II. The best of Yank is history, current events, social commentary, sports history entertainment, sex, and homespun advice all rolled into one. It captures both the spirit of the World War II GI and the grim reality of the violence he encountered. Here are: in-depth war news, articles and reports from all of the fronts; honest evaluations of America's allies and their military efforts; realistic estimations of the enemy's strong and weak points; helpful hints on how to clean a rifle (with some suggestions from the Germans); advicde on how to prepare income tax returns or make certain that remittance checks reach family and loved ones; predictions about what to expect after discharge --and luscious Hollywood pinups of Jean Parker, Betty Grable, Esther Williams, and Lena Horne. Each issue contains irreverent "Sad Sack" cartoons, magnificent and moving photographic coverage of great battles, lethal skirmishes and front-line living conditions, and even crossword puzzles and other games of skill.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ernie Pyle's writings about Soldiers during World War II were always an inspiration during my career as a feature broadcaster and writer. Full of flavor about "GI" life, I followed Mr. Pyle's example of accompanying Soldiers during training and participating as much as possible. This magic formula never failed to promote understanding and appreciation of the demands and sacrifice of Soldier life. Hearing first hand accounts of the Pearl Harbor attack and the Doolittle Raid that followed; walking along the water's edge at Omaha and Utah Beaches with WWII Soldiers who stormed the shores on June 6, 1944 and accompanying paratroopers to towns like Sainte Mere-Elise where they parachuted in the night before; and exploring other memorable accounts such as prisoners-of war considerably deepened my appreciation and admiration for the "Greatest Generation." Applying the same "Ernie Pyle writing strategy" made all the difference in writing about them.

Book excerpt: From the homegrown "boodle" of the 19th century to current "misunderstandistan" in the Middle East, America's foremost expert on slang reveals military lingo at its most colorful, innovative, brutal, and ironic. Author Paul Dickson introduces some of the "new words and phrases born of conflict, boredom, good humor, bad food, new technology, and the pure horror of war." This newly updated reference extends to the post-9/11 world and the American military presence in Iraq and Afghanistan. Recommended by William Safire in his "On Language" column of The New York Times, it features dictionary-style entries, arranged chronologically by conflict, with helpful introductions to each section and an index for convenient reference. "Paul Dickson is a national treasure who deserves a wide audience," declared Library Journal. The author of more than 50 books, Dickson has written extensively on language. This expanded edition of War Slang features new material by journalist Ben Lando, Iraq Bureau Chief for Iraq Oil Report and a regular contributor to The Wall Street Journal and Time. It serves language lovers and military historians alike by adding an eloquent new dimension to our understanding of war.

Book excerpt: This informative two-volume set provides readers with an understanding of the fads and crazes that have taken America by storm from colonial times to the present. Entries cover a range of topics, including food, entertainment, fashion, music, and language. Why could hula hoops and TV westerns only have been found in every household in the 1950s? What murdered Russian princess can be seen in one of the first documented selfies, taken in 1914? This book answers those questions and more in its documentation of all of the most captivating trends that have defined American popular culture since before the country began. Entries are well-researched and alphabetized by decade. At the start of every section is an insightful historical overview of the decade, and the set uniquely illustrates what today's readers have in common with the past. It also contains a Glossary of Slang for each decade as well as a bibliography, plus suggestions for further reading for each entry. Students and readers interested in history will enjoy discovering trends through the years in such areas as fashion, movies, music, and sports.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Spanning more than 400 years of America's past, this book brings together, for the first time, entries on the ways Americans have mythologized both the many wars the nation has fought and the men and women connected with those conflicts. Focusing on significant representations in popular culture, it provides information on fiction, drama, poems, songs, film and television, art, memorials, photographs, documentaries, and cartoons. From the colonial wars before 1775 to our 1997 peacekeeper role in Bosnia, the work briefly explores the historical background of each war period, enabling the reader to place the almost 500 entries into their proper context. The book includes particularly large sections dealing with the popular culture of the American Revolution, the Civil War, the Indian Wars West of the Mississippi, World War II, and Vietnam. It has been designed to be a useful reference tool for anyone interested in America's many wars, to provide answers, to teach, to inspire, and most of all, to be enjoyed.
