Sobre este item
Oxford, England: Bodleian Library, University of Oxford, 2004. Reprint. Second printing. Hardcover. Very good./No dust jacket.. 31 pages. Reproduced from the Original Typescript, War Department, Washington, DC. The typescript was printed on poor quality foolscap size paper and was issued to American servicemen going to England in prparation for the invasion of Europe. In 1942 the United States War Department distributed a handbook to American Servicemen advising them on the peculiarities of the 'British, their country, and their ways'. The guide was intended to lessen the culture shock for those embarking on their first trip to Great Britain, and for the most part, abroad. The instructions are a wonderful interpretation of the differences between the two allies. By turns hilarious and poignant, many observations remain quaintly relevant today. Every page is full of enchantingly nostalgic advice and observations. Reproduced in a style reminiscent of the era, this is a wonderfully evocative war-time memento. The reader, from whatever country, will revel in the amusing and terrifically truthful American perception of the British character and country.
