Excerpt from Twenty-Four Days on a Troopship Then she screamed, and the pity of it is, I probably shall never know what she wanted, for we were leaving Genoa very, very slowly, as two tugs pulled us away from the docks. For three weeks I have waited for this boat to sail. Now. We have actually put out to sea. There were many with red eyes, swollen from tears, among the passengers; though why anybody in the world should ever weep when they are bound for New York is beyond me. About the first thing you do when you get on the boat is to size up the cabin in which you must sojourn for days to come. My impression is that I am getting less for more money than upon any other journey I have ever made, but I shall be alone. That is some compensation. It was common gossip just before we came on board that today the Germans will or will not sign Peace. The general impres sion is that they will refuse. I have just made a wager with a Swiss that they will sign. If I win I'll have my incidental ex penses paid for a long, hot trip. This Swiss tells me that there are thou sands of Germans in his country and none of them ever admit that their army was defeated. Everywhere I have gone, I have heard that same thing. Most everyone with whom you come in contact seems to think the war was ended just about a month too soon. Personally, I take no stock in such ex pressions. If there are any readers of this book who think that the German army was not decisively defeated in battle, beaten to a dead standstill and then flung irrevocably back, they are welcome to their delusions. The same with the Germans, too. In a gen cration or so the truth will begin to dawn upon them, if not sooner.

Poised to become a significant player in the new world order, the United States truly came of age during and after World War I. Yet many Americans think of the Great War simply as a precursor to World War II. Americans, including veterans, hastened to put experiences and memories of the war years behind them, reflecting a general apathy about the war that had developed during the 1920s and 1930s and never abated. In Remembering World War I in America Kimberly J. Lamay Licursi explores the American public’s collective memory and common perception of World War I by analyzing the extent to which it was expressed through the production of cultural artifacts related to the war. Through the analysis of four vectors of memory—war histories, memoirs, fiction, and film—Lamay Licursi shows that no consistent image or message about the war ever arose that resonated with a significant segment of the American population. Not many war histories materialized, war memoirs did not capture the public’s attention, and war novels and films presented a fictional war that either bore little resemblance to the doughboys’ experience or offered discordant views about what the war meant. In the end Americans emerged from the interwar years with limited pockets of public memory about the war that never found compromise in a dominant myth.

With the centennial of the First World War rapidly approaching, historian and bibliographer James T. Controvich offers in The United States in World War I: A Bibliographic Guide the most comprehensive, up-to-date reference bibliography yet published. Organized by subject, this bibliography includes the full range of sources: vintage publications of the time, books, pamphlets, periodical titles, theses, dissertations, and archival sources held by federal and state organizations, as well as those in public and private hands, including historical societies and museums. As Controvich’s bibliographic accounting makes clear, there were many facets of World War I that remain virtually unknown to this day. Throughout, Controvich’s bibliography tracks the primary sources that tell each of these stories—and many others besides—during this tense period in American history. Each entry lists the author, title, place of publication, publisher, date of publication, and page count as well as descriptive information concerning illustrations, plates, ports, maps, diagrams, and plans. The armed forces section carries additional information on rosters, awards, citations, and killed and wounded in action lists. The United States in World War I: A Bibliographic Guide is an ideal research tool for students and scholars of World War I and American history.
