Pocket Guide to Iran was
published in 1943 by U.S. War and Navy Departments for American
servicemen in World
War
II. Thousands of American troops were based in Iran during the
war as part of a joint effort with the British to send vital
military supplies to Russia, which was defending itself against
Hitler's army. Do US troops get similar reading material these
days?
One section of the guide was published three
years ago (see: Do's
and don'ts). But now that US personnel have landed
near Bam to help in earthquake relief efforts, it would be interesting
to
revist
the pocket-size guide. Many
thanks
to Ramin Tabib for sending this guide.
