Titles in the Series

The serial numbers represent their published number in the series. Gaps in the numbering indicate a title cancelled or censored by the War Department.

Please note that the pamphlets did not list specific authors, due to the often significant rewriting by staff and censorship by the War Department and other agencies in the federal government. The author names, where given, are reconstructed from lists among the AHA Papers in the Manuscript Division of the Library of Congress, and often only indicate the person who authored the first draft of the pamphlet.

Some pamphlets were comissioned but never published. The reasons for these cancellations vary, but many of them could not be finished and edited to satisfaction before the end of the war. When a pamphlet was cancelled the copyright was given back to the author. Therefore, these pamphlets cannot be published, though the original drafts are avaialble in the AHA Papers in the Manuscript Division of the Library of Congres. See the titles, authors, and dates of those cancelled pamphlets.
