Ernie Pyle. Home Country. Armed Services Edition. [1322]. UVa

After the war, the ASE project continued, though on a reduced basis, for a further two years, in order to serve the millions of GI's who were still on active service overseas. Smaller print-runs made the use of big pulp-magazine presses unfeasible, and the last ASE's were produced in a format similar to that of other mass-market paperbacks. The last title produced, in the fall of 1947, was Ernie Pyle's Home Country.

Herman Wouk. Letter to John Y. Cole, 22 December 1982. Photocopy

Herman Wouk, whose novel, Aurora Dawn, was published as an ASE in the final days of the project, remembered his own experiences in the Armed Forces, seeking good reading material.
