A.J. Liebling: World War II Writings(ISBN=9781598530186) pdf snb 115盘 kindle 在线 下载 pmlz mobi

　　One of the most gifted and influential American journalists of

the 20th century, A. J. Liebling spent five years reporting the

dramatic events and myriad individual stories of World War II. As a

correspondent for The New Yorker, Liebling wrote with a

passionate commitment to Allied victory, an unfailing attention to

telling details, and an appreciation for the literary challenges

presented by the “discursive, centrifugal, both repetitive and

disparate” nature of war. This volume brings together three books

along with 26 uncollected New Yorker pieces and two excerpts

from The Republic of Silence (1947), Liebling’s collection

of writing from the French Resistance.

The Road Back to Paris (1944) narrates Liebling’s

experiences from September 1939 to March 1943, including his shock

at the fall of France and dismay at isolationist indifference in

the United States; it contains classic accounts of a winter voyage

on a Norwegian tanker during the Battle of the Atlantic, visits to

front-line airfields in North Africa, and the defeat of a veteran

panzer division by American troops in Tunisia. Mollie and Other

War Pieces (1964) brings together Liebling’s portrait of a

legendary nonconformist American soldier in North Africa with his

eyewitness account of Omaha Beach on D-Day, evocative reports from

Normandy, and investigation of a German atrocity in rural France.

In Normandy Revisited (1958) Liebling writes about his

return to France in 1955 and recalls the joyous liberation of his

beloved Paris while exploring with bittersweet perception how

wartime experience is transformed into memory. The selection of

uncollected New Yorker pieces includes a profile of an RAF ace,

surveys of the French underground press, and an encounter with a

captured collaborator in Brittany, as well as postwar reflections

on battle fatigue, Ernie Pyle, and the writing of military

history.

With maps and chronology.
