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.
