Description
A unique glimpse into American military preparations for World War II, Instructions for American Servicemen in Britain offers a fascinating insight into the culture shock faced by soldiers serving abroad. Reproduced from the original typescript, this 1942 handbook provides a candid and humorous look at the British way of life, with endearingly nostalgic advice that remains relevant today. The guide, intended to alleviate the culture shock for soldiers taking their first trip to Great Britain, features refreshingly candid quips and observations that offer a unique perspective on the longstanding American-British relationship. With its distinctive style reminiscent of the era, this book is a powerfully evocative war-time memento that reveals amusingly incisive American perceptions of the British character and country. Published in 2004, this 2nd edition of the original handbook provides a rare and valuable insight into the experiences of American servicemen in Britain during World War II.
