Using as his major source the \u003ci\u003eAmaroc\u003c\/i\u003e itself, records of the Army Expeditionary Forces (WWI), and other material from the National Archives, Cornebise draws parallels between the lives of the occupation soldiers of 1918-23 and those soldiers overseas today, especially in Germany.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe peacetime doughboy had little desire to be part of an occupying force in Germany. Nobody did. Not the French, not the Belgians, not the British. The Germans decidedly did not want them there. Yet American soldiers at least had the \u003ci\u003eAmaroc News,\u003c\/i\u003e a highly color­ful newspaper that gave them a blend of the concerns of most young American men--women, sports, jobs, travel, education. But it gave them more: soldiers who read \u003ci\u003eAmaroc\u003c\/i\u003e came away with an expanded sense of the world's events and of America's changing position in the international picture.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":51822016397585,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":51822016921873,"sku":"NGR9780809310012","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9780809310012.jpg?v=1752619177"},{"product_id":"ranks-and-columns-book-alfred-e-cornebise-9780313266287","title":"Ranks and Columns","description":"A historical survey of the US military press from the Revolutionary war to the present.

Some stayed in Europe and studied art, attended classes at the Sorbonne, took medical courses at London's Fellowship of Med., read law at the Inns of Court, enrolled in veterinary classes at the Univ. of Edinburgh, and studied French culture and language at numerous French univ. and inst. About 10,000 men were involved in these programs. In addition, 10,000 soldier-students attended the AEF's own univ. at Beaune. For a few months in the spring of 1919, this univ. was the largest in the English-speaking world. Other educational opportunities of various sorts were made available to virtually every soldier in the AEF.
