This book is an authentic compendium of poems, stories, one-liners,
and anecdotes circulated throughout the World War II period by the
men and women in the armed services as well as those in the
factories and support services of the greatest war machine ever
built. This raucous humor is espeially poignant in its
representation of a nation's young finding levity in their most
basic needs, displacing themselves from the reality of death. Each
joke, story, witticism, poem, or amusement has been associated with
a bonafide United States war poster of the day, reflecting its
comparative humor. In honoring the Greatest Generation for their
sacrifices, these works are a testament to their dignity; that when
faced with their own mortality, they still could laugh.
