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. 606 $aWorld War, 1939-1945$zUnited States$xPsychological aspects 606 $aWorld War, 1939-1945$zGreat Britain$xPsychological aspects 606 $aWorld War, 1939-1945$xLiterature and the war 606 $aWorld War, 1939-1945$xPropaganda 615 0$aWorld War, 1939-1945$xPsychological aspects. 615 0$aWorld War, 1939-1945$xPsychological aspects. 615 0$aWorld War, 1939-1945$xLiterature and the war. 615 0$aWorld War, 1939-1945$xPropaganda. 676 $a940.5341 700 $aFussell$b Paul$f1924-2012,$0142426 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910819034103321 996 $aWartime$92679519 997 $aUNINA
