"Heartwarming." -- New York Times "Whether or not you're a book lover, you'll be moved." -- Entertainment Weekly "A readable, accessible addition to World War II literature and] a book that will be enjoyed by lovers of books about books." -- Boston Globe "Four stars out of four] . . . A cultural history that does much to explain modern America." -- USA Today When America entered World War II in 1941, we faced an enemy that had banned and burned 100 million books. Outraged librarians launched a campaign to send free books to American troops and gathered 20 million hardcover donations. In 1943, the War Department and the publishing industry stepped in with an extraordinary program: 120 million small, lightweight paperbacks for troops to carry in their pockets and rucksacks in every theater of war. These Armed Services Editions were beloved by the troops and are still fondly remembered today. Soldiers read them while waiting to land at Normandy, in hellish trenches in the midst of battles in the Pacific, in field hospitals, and on long bombing flights. They helped rescue The Great Gatsby from obscurity and made Betty Smith, author of A Tree Grows in Brooklyn, into a national icon. When Books Went to War is the inspiring story of the Armed Services Editions, and a treasure for history buffs and book lovers alike. "A thoroughly engaging, enlightening, and often uplifting account . . . I was enthralled and moved." -- Tim O'Brien, author of The Things They CarriedBinding Type: Paperback

Govee TV Backlight 3 Lite: My Movie Nights Just Got a Whole Lot Cooler!
This Govee TV backlight kit is an absolute game-changer! I was looking for a way to enhance my TV viewing experience, and this definitely did the trick. The installation was super easy – just peel and stick the LED strips to the back of my TV, and I was good to go. The app is intuitive and gives you tons of control over the colors, brightness, and even music sync options.
What really blew me away was how much more immersive my movies and shows feel. The lights create this awesome ambient glow that extends the colors of the screen onto the wall behind the TV. It's like having my own personal home theater! Plus, it just makes the whole room look cooler.
I've also been using the music sync feature when I'm listening to tunes, and it's a total blast. The lights dance and change color to the beat of the music, creating a really fun and vibrant atmosphere.
Overall, I'm beyond impressed with the Govee TV Backlight 3 Lite. It's a fantastic product that's added a whole new dimension to my entertainment setup. If you're looking for a way to take your TV time to the next level, I highly recommend checking this out!
