Instructions for American Servicemen in Britain, 1942 by Bodleian Library
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. By turns hilarious and poignant, many observations remain quaintly relevant today. Reproduced in a style reminiscent of the era, this is a wonderfully evocative war-time memento.
'a perfect gift book' - Independent Publisher's Catalogue 'this book is full of charm and highlights the poignant contrast between two very different attitudes to life' - Lincolnshire Echo 'On seven pages of foolscap, in under 6,000 typewritten words, the unknown author drew up a guide to wartime Britain, and an Ordnance Survey map of its psyche' - The Daily Telegraph
