When Books Went to War
The Stories That Helped Us Win World War II
by Molly Guptill Manning
Narrated by Bernadette Dunne
Synopsis
When America entered World War II in 1941, we faced an enemy that had banned and burned over 100 million books and caused fearful citizens to hide or destroy many more. Outraged librarians launched a campaign to send free books to American troops and gathered 20 million hardcover donations. In 1943 the War Department and the publishing industry stepped in with an extraordinary program: 120 million small, lightweight paperbacks for troops to carry in their pockets and their rucksacks in every theater of war.Comprising 1,200 different titles of every imaginable type, these paperbacks were beloved by the troops and are still fondly remembered today. Soldiers read them while waiting to land at Normandy, in hellish trenches in the midst of battles in the Pacific, in field hospitals, and on long bombing flights. They wrote to the authors, many of whom responded to every letter. They helped rescue The Great Gatsby from obscurity. They made Betty Smith, author of A Tree Grows in Brooklyn, into a national icon. When Books Went to War is an inspiring story for history buffs and book lovers alike.

The War Below
The Story of Three Submarines That Battled Japan
by James Scott
Narrated by Donald Corren
Synopsis
Expand/Collapse Synopsis
The riveting story of the submarine force that helped win World War II by ravaging Japan's merchant fleet and destroying its economy

The War Below is a dramatic account of extraordinary heroism, ingenuity, and perseverance-and the vital role American submarines played in winning the Pacific War. Focusing on the unique stories of the submarines Silversides, Drum, and Tang-and the men who skippered and crewed them-James Scott takes readers beneath the waves to experience the thrill of a direct hit on a merchant ship and the terror of depth charge attacks. It's a story filled with incredible feats of courage, including an emergency appendectomy performed with spoons by an inexperienced medic and the desperate struggle of sailors to escape from a flooded submarine stuck on the bottom, as well as tragic moments such as American submarines sinking an unmarked enemy ship carrying some 1,800 American POWs.

The casualty rate among submariners topped that of all military branches, a staggering six times higher than the surface navy. The war claimed almost one out of every five boats. But Japan was so ravaged by the loss of precious fuel and supplies that by war's end, Japanese warships lay at anchor while hungry civilians ate sawdust. Scott paints an unforgettable picture of the dangerous life submariners endured, including the atrocious prison camps where the Japanese beat, tortured, and starved captured Allied troops. Based on more than one hundred interviews with submarine veterans and a review of more than three thousand pages of previously unpublished letters, diaries, and personal writings, The War Below allows readers to experience the Pacific War as never before.

I found 2 scifi books from the sale that was on my want to read list, so I picked them up.

That didn't work for me. It gave me a "promo code error".

It's nigh on impossible to shake those monkeys

Does anyone know if Audible ever addressed the issue whereby they deducted coupon credit on the basis of first in, first out, rather than on the basis of expiring first?

I've got $5 which needs to be used within a couple of weeks but is newer, and another $10 that's good for a few more months but is older. I suppose if it doesn't work out I could always fix it via phone call, but I spend far too much time chatting with Audible CS to fix things.

Thanks for posting these. I added the links.

These three books are all Audible Originals and are free for members with paid credit memberships. For everyone else (that's me), these books will cost you money.

If you go to the OP (opening post) of this thread and look under Audible, you'll see a list of all of the current promos that I'm aware of (look under Subscriptions). Try one of those and don't forget to open the spoiler boxes.

Tip: when I have several promos to choose from, I always start with the best deal and work my way downwards until I get one that works. Usually, I walk away empty handed. But hey, nothing ventured, nothing gained.

Good luck

You're not a tubemonkey; you're a Godzilla.

I honestly do not know what happened but I guess I did not hit the submit button this morning on the 3 daily deals. I apologize for not checking back until now.

[badgoodDeb]

I hate it when that happens! And one has always spent a good while, and posted something very witty and pithy.

Don't sweat it!
