000915628 5208_ $$a'Information Hunters' examines the unprecedented American effort to acquire foreign publications & information in World War II Europe. An unlikely band of librarians, scholars, soldiers, & spies went to Europe to collect books & documents to aid the Allies' cause. They travelled to neutral cities to find enemy publications for intelligence analysis & followed advancing armies to capture records in a massive program of confiscation. After the war, they seized Nazi works from bookstores & schools & gathered countless looted Jewish books. Improvising library techniques in wartime conditions, they contributed to Allied intelligence, preserved endangered books, engaged in restitution, & participated in the denazification of book collections. This work explores what collecting meant to the men & women who embarked on these missions & how the challenges of a total war led to an intense focus on books & documents.
