| Sommario/riassunto: | Veterans of WWII have long sung the praises of the PX - a little piece of home in far-flung corners of the world. This title presents the story of the Army Exchange System. It traces the evolution of the PX from the beginning to the end of World War II from the point of view of those who ran the service and that of the soldiers who used it. |
