In this study, Paul Fussell goes behind the familiar diplomacy and heroics of history to examine the blunders, petty tyrannies, inconveniences, and deprivations that are many British and American people's memory of the War. There are lively sections on the role of drinking, tobacco, and sex in the war and on the home front; on propaganda; about writers and magazines who recorded the war or who attempted to keep aloft literary standards in a difficult time; on wartime slang and graphic recollections of the nightmare of combat.;The text is a companion to Fussell's "The Great War And Modern Memory", which won an American National Book Award and the National Critics Circle Prize.World War, 1939-1945United StatesPsychological aspectsWorld War, 1939-1945Great BritainPsychological aspectsWorld War, 1939-1945Literature and the warWorld War, 1939-1945PropagandaElectronic books.World War, 1939-1945Psychological aspects.World War, 1939-1945Psychological aspects.World War, 1939-1945Literature and the war.World War, 1939-1945Propaganda.940.5341Fussell Paul1924-2012,142426MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910453261003321Wartime2462539UNINA
