The Book at war : libraries and readers in an age of conflict / Andrew Pettegree. - London : Profile Books, 2024. - [6], 474 strony, [16] stron tablic : Ilustracje ; 20 cm.
Książka w języku angielskim. From the American Civil War to the Russian invasion of Ukraine, this ground-breaking study explores the relation between the printed word – fiction, but also posters, maps and scientific works – and warfare. Demonstrating that the written word can serve as propaganda as much as entertainment or enlightenment, it unveils its use during combat by governments, soldiers and civilians but also how conflict has influenced writers including Evelyn Waugh and George Orwell.
