Armed Services Edition of Frankenstein
Armed Services Editions (ASEs) were small-formal, paperback books printed by the Council on Books in Wartime, a group of publishers, authors, librarians and booksellers who wanted to contribute to the wartime effort during World War II. These books were distributed within the American military to provide entertainment to soldiers serving overseas, while also educating them about political, historical, and military issues. The slogan of the Council on Books in Wartime was, "Books are weapons in the war of ideas." |
