| The G.I. Roundtable pamphlet series was created by the Historical Service Board of the American Historical Association under the direction of the U.S. Army’s Division of Education and Information. The intention of the pamphlet series was to educate American military personnel about the reasons they were fighting, the nature of their enemies and their allies and what shape the postwar world would take. The first pamphlets were published in 1943. Publication continued through 1946. There were a total of 42 titles published with another 6 either censored or not published for other reasons. The University or Richmond holds 36 of these pamphlets. The pamphlets offer an extraordinary look at the U.S. military and U.S. society during World War Two. |
