How the humble paperback helped the United States win World War II

During World War II, American soldiers were provided with specially designed pocket-sized paperbacks called the Armed Services Editions. These books, totaling around 120 million copies, were intended to help soldiers pass the time and remind them of what they were fighting for. The program aimed to promote the free exchange of ideas and contrasted American ideals with Nazi book burnings. The books were distributed for free and boosted the popularity of certain authors.

<p>The Armed Services Editions paperback books were wildly popular among World War II servicemembers. But they became symbols of American freedom to read in the war against fascism only after a bitter domestic battle about the works and topics that would be permitted. </p>
