Reading Under Fire: Arming Minds & Hearts During Wartime examines book-related posters produced during World Wars I and II that promoted reading as a means of sustaining soldier morale and wellbeing. Featuring works from the United States, Great Britain, Canada, and Germany, the posters reflect public campaigns to donate and fund books for troops. Together, they reveal how reading functioned as escape, education, and a symbol of freedom during wartime.
