Buddies: Men, Dogs and World War II Book - Description
One of the most effective forms of American propaganda during World War II was the morale-boosting dog or "buddy" photo - cute canine mascots juxtaposed with the wizened visages of soldiers and sailors living amidst the cold and relentless motions of war. Author and historian Douglas Keeney spent more than a year combing through the National Archives unearthing hundreds of examples for the most part, previously unpublished, and each is accompanied by the stories of the dogs and their "service" in Europe and the Pacific.
