The Stars and Stripes

Rezensionen / Stimmen

"As a contribution to the history of journalism, this solid, well-researched history of the popular newspaper of the US Army during WWI fills a scholarly void. As a study in American popular culture, it is an interesting insight into the mix of wartime tension, foreign location, and enterprise from which Stars and Stripes emerged. ... Recommended for upper-division undergraduate and graduate libraries, especially those with a focus upon American culture, military matters, and journalism." - Choice "This is a good book, treating a significant enterprise in the nation's history." - Journal of American History "This well-researched and interesting account of the Stars and Stripes illuminates a facet of our military history largely lost in the official documents of the war. Historians, journalists, and casual readers will find this book a valuable reference for the history of the AEF." - Military Review "The Stars and Stripes: Doughboy Journalism in World War I by Alfred E. Cornebise is about the American army newspaper in Europe that ran 71 weekly issues from February 1918 to June 1919; how it began, was produced, and many of the key people involved. It reappeared in World War II." - Communication Booknotes Quarterly
