Description: "Here is the story of the world's first global periodical - reaching troops on six continents - and history's most successful U.S. Army publication. Yank, The Army Weekly, was a phenomenon of World War II that provided an insight into the nature of the American soldier that always will be valid. It provided an irreverent and honest account of the sharing, suffering, and frustrations of 14 million civilians in uniform during World War II."--Jacket.
