Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A WWII combat artist shares his recollections—and his arresting artwork—from the frontlines of the Italian campaign in this military memoir. Many artists have fought in wars and later recorded heroic scenes of great battles. Yet few artists have created their work on the frontlines as they fought alongside their comrades. Edward Reep, as an official combat artist in World War II, painted and sketched while the battles of the Italian campaign raged around him. At Monte Cassino, the earth trembled as he attempted to paint the historic bombing of that magnificent abbey. Later, racing into Milan with armed partisans on the fenders of his Jeep, he saw the bodies of Mussolini and his beautiful mistress cut down from the gas station where they had been hanged by their heels. That same day he witnessed the spectacle of a large German army force holed up in a high-rise office tower, waiting for the chance to surrender to the proper American brass for fear of falling into the hands of the vengeful partisans. Reep’s recollections of such desperate days are captured in Combat Artist, both in the text and in the many painfully vivid paintings and drawings that accompany it. Reep’s battlefield drawings show us, with unrelenting honesty, the horrors and griefs?and the bitter comedy?of battle.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cultural diplomacy—"winning hearts and minds" through positive portrayals of the American way of life—is a key element in U.S. foreign policy, although it often takes a backseat to displays of military might. Americans All provides an in-depth, fine-grained study of a particularly successful instance of cultural diplomacy—the Office of the Coordinator of Inter-American Affairs (CIAA), a government agency established by President Franklin D. Roosevelt in 1940 and headed by Nelson A. Rockefeller that worked to promote hemispheric solidarity and combat Axis infiltration and domination by bolstering inter-American cultural ties. Darlene J. Sadlier explores how the CIAA used film, radio, the press, and various educational and high-art activities to convince people in the United States of the importance of good neighbor relations with Latin America, while also persuading Latin Americans that the United States recognized and appreciated the importance of our southern neighbors. She examines the CIAA's working relationship with Hollywood's Motion Picture Society of the Americas; its network and radio productions in North and South America; its sponsoring of Walt Disney, Orson Welles, John Ford, Gregg Toland, and many others who traveled between the United States and Latin America; and its close ties to the newly created Museum of Modern Art, which organized traveling art and photographic exhibits and produced hundreds of 16mm educational films for inter-American audiences; and its influence on the work of scores of artists, libraries, book publishers, and newspapers, as well as public schools, universities, and private organizations.

Book excerpt: "This unique and important collection of narratives and paintings by the well-known New Jersey artist Francis McGinley memorializes events associated with the Holocaust and World War II. As the witnesses of those times slowly fade literally and figuratively from our collective memory, it is more important that ever to record their stories in a meaningful way for future generations. This book is Mr. McGinley's long-awaited and impressive contribution toward that effort. Presented in chronological format, the artist's work depicts the initial panic of Krirstallnacht, the horrors of Auschwitz and the Warsaw Ghetto, and the uncertainty and horror of the voyage of the SS St. Louis. As the war intensifies after the bombing of Pearl Harbor, the Pacific Theatre is portrayed in images and accounts of the battles of Midway and Guadalcanal, and the invasion of the Philippines. The struggle for Monte Cassino, the gallantry of D-Day and the invasion of France follow, all intermingled with images of submarine warfare and various ships and aircraft employed throughout the war. Personal, in-depth stories, are interspersed throughout the book, including those of Simon Wiesenthal, St. Maximilian Kolbe, PFC Marcelino A. Ortiz, Sergeant William H. Fisher, Dina Gabel, Colonel James H. Doolittle, pilot Edgar McElroy, the Four Chaplains, Captain Ben L. Salomon, Major Thomas B. McGuire, waist gunner Joe O'Donnell, the men of the Bertie Lee, Colonel Mickey Marcus, Corporal 'Duke' Lenard, Lieutenant Raymond Zussman, Platoon Sergeant Frank Olsen, PFC Edwin Kolodziej, 2nd Lieutenant 'Bud' Lomell, Raoul Wallenburg, PFC Francis S. Currey, Corporal Horace M. Thorne, Staff Sergeant Isadore S. Jackman, 2nd Lieutenant Audie Leon Murphy, PFC Frank J. Bernhardt, Airman George Watson, and Libel Sanik. The stories continue, focusing on the Battle of the Bulge, the annihilation of Dresden, and the bombing of Hiroshima by the Enola Gay. As the destruction and mayhem of war finally come to a close, we view the liberation of Dachau, and the signing of the peace treaty onboard the USS Missouri as it lies in Tokyo Bay. Mr. McGinley intersperses the book with illustrations of individuals, ships, and units that made up the war, complete with moving recollections by actual participants. American History Press and author Frank McGinley are proud to present this book to the current generation, doing our part to preserve the heritage of this time period in hopes that the horrors, pain, and destruction of such a war will never be repeated again"--Publisher description.
