A poster from The Council on Books in Wartime circa 1943

It's no coincidence that The Council on Books in Wartime selected several of the books dramatized in Words At War for their parallel Armed Services Edition series of books for our G.I.s. Here's Mr. Glencannon Ignores the War, one of the Words At War programs that was never broadcast.

Here's one that was broadcast -- Apartment In Athens which aired as Episode No. 92 on April 10 1945

C.S. Forester's Payment Deferred didn't fit the format of Words At War, but his 'The Ship' did, as Episode No. 5 from July 24 1943

Robert Carse's There Go the Ships didn't air over Words At War but his 'Lifeline' did as Episode No. 49 from May 17 1944

Theodore Pratt's Mr Winkle Goes to War didn't make it into Words At War but one of his short stories did.

Then of course there was Superman. In all likelihood one of the more popular Armed Services Editions in the canon. But not quite appropriate for Words At War.

And as anyone might expect of a 1940s red-blooded G.I., Tarzan was high on the Armed Services Editions reading list as well.

The Council's recommendations for our G.I.s ran the gamut of literature, as noted above with Superman and Tarzan. But they also appealed to the romantic and cultured of our G.I.s Here's The Story of George Gershwin. A tale sure to warm any foxhole--one way or the other.

Western Pulp was equally represented. Here's Gunman's Gold by Max Brand.

Even Broadway fans found something of interest in the Council's CARE packages, such as this copy of A Little Night Music.

Golden Age Radio fans can think of these humble--but complete, reprints as the AFRS-Transcriptions of the literary field. The same content but in a G.I. package.

Background

As one might well imagine, World War II generated thousands of books, periodical stories and novels spanning the entire spectrum of America and its allies' involvement in the War. Ranging from detailed human interest vignettes to macroscopic views of the strategies, tactics, politics and philosophy of War, these books provided many compelling, heart-rending, inspirational, and cautionary tales of the effect--and aftermath--of war.

In 1943, the United States Office of War Information (OWI), in cooperation with The Council on Books in Wartime, and the National Broadcasting Company combined to suggest a Radio program dramatizing some of the more important of these books.

The Council on Books in Wartime was a non-profit organization founded in the Spring of 1942 by booksellers, publishers, librarians, and authors, with the purpose of channeling the use of books as “weapons in the war of ideas,” the Council's motto. Its stated aims were "the promotion of books to influence the thinking of the American people regarding the war, to build and maintain the will to win, to expose the true nature of the enemy, to disseminate technical information, to provide relaxation and inspiration, and to clarify war aims and problems of peace."

The efforts of this combine resulted in the premiere on June 24, 1943 of the critically acclaimed Words At War series, the name a play on the motto of the Council on Books in Wartime. The eventual result was a series that ran for some ninety-seven-plus, 30-minute programs aired mostly sustained over NBC and covering over 120 books and publications addressing elements of war and its impact on society. The series spanned the works of an international collection of authors, ranging from Colonel Carlos P. Romulo of the Army of The Philippines to the Chinese, Harvard educated author Lin Taiyi to authors representing their perspectives on World War II from The Netherlands, Italy, The Balkans, Soviet Russian, Japan, and even Nazi Germany, providing a comprehensive, domestic and international series unmatched in Radio History.

NBC also aired Pacific Story (1943-1947) during the run of Words At War. Pacific Story was more documentary in nature, running for some 185 installments and tracing the evolution of the War in the Pacific Theatre. CBS for its part, aired the inspirational and moving personal retrospective of War with its Peabody award-winning The Man Behind The Gun (1942-1944). The three programs combined to provide North American radio audiences a fairly comprehensive, as well as philosophical, domestic account of the development of the War, its precedents, its personal side, and its aftermath. This was in stark contrast to the glut of uber-patriotic propaganda productions that flooded North American airwaves immediately following the United States' entry into World War II.

Both approaches to wartime information, and of course the daily, sometimes censored, accounts of the prosecution of the War in both major Theatres, were almost certainly necessary. The more jingoistic pieces were clearly necessary to capture the attention of the less aware elements of American society who remained oblivious to the effect of war on domestic consumption, the need for rationing, and the deleterious effects of black market micro-economies. And on a broader scale, American businessmen being what they've been since the Industrial Revolution, were less inclined to rein in their profligate excesses without the public pressures and government controls that inevitably ensued.

The Government, thankfully, was wise enough to target its more propagandistic efforts to radio listeners and newspaper readers who'd inevitably exert the power of their purses and bank accounts against the profiteers in the domestic wartime economy to act as a further curb against business community excesses.

Words At War, The Man Behind The Gun, and Pacific Story, served as an important balance in the dissemination of wartime information. Words At War, especially, recounted a ambitious spectrum of observations about the War and its effects. Employing several award-winning accounts of the thoughts, aspirations, and often very personal views of War, books such as Mark Murphy's Pulitzer prize winning account of naval gunner Basil Izzi and his eighty-three day story of survival on a raft in The Atlantic brought rivetting accounts of war to the North American public..

NBC Airs A Planned Thirteen Program Series, 'Words At War'

The series aired sustained through the summer of 1944, at which time it ran in the Fibber McGee and Molly timeslot during their summer break, with Johnson's Wax picking up the tab for that summer run. The program returned to sustaining following Fibber McGee and Molly's return to the air during the Fall 1944 season.

Production values of the series remained high from beginning to end. Directed by Joseph Losey, Frank Papp, Anton Leader, Herbert Rice, Garnet Garrison and Joseph Mansfield, the scripts progressed crisply, tightly and smoothly from beginning to end. Frank Black and to a lesser degree, Morris Mamorsky provided the moving and often atmospheric musical underscores for the productions. The casts supporting the several docudramas incorporated into the programs truly brought the literary works to life. Comprised of the finest voice talent of the era, the authors themselves--the real 'stars' of the production--often narrated or participated in the productions.

Begun as a planned Summer series of only thirteen programs, the production was almost immediately acclaimed as an important broadcast series. The initially ordered set of the customary thirteen installments soon expanded into a full Fall season of an additional thirty-nine programs which would have brought the entire run in at fifty-two programs. Each passing week of broadcasts brought even further acclaim and popularity. This apparently caught NBC by surprise as the giant network quickly--and often clumsily--attempted to reschedule the series for a full season of programming.

The 'fast-shuffle' was nothing new to NBC, the largest of the major networks to fiddle with some of their most popular programs into the programs' premature demise. But the outpouring of interest in Words At War couldn't be ignored--not even by NBC. Indeed, in spite of numerous rescheduling, unaired episodes, and--to be fair--preemptions often the result of being overcome by events of the era, the series 'soldiered on,' in spite of its network.

As, unbeknownst to most of America, as it approached D-Day, the clamp down on operational intelligence and increasing government-wide security created a vacuum of information surrounding America's response to its entry into the War. So it was that, throughout the first fifty-two broadcasts of the run, North American audiences were treated to some of the most introspective and fascinating War literature to ever be broadcast over public airwaves. The idea behind the concept of the series was clearly being viewed as an important contribution to listeners' understanding of the greater and more far-reaching effects of world war.

As noted above, the series dramatized literary works spanning the interests of virtually all parties to The War. This was a fairly radical departure for NBC, long known as the 'safe' network, with a long-standing policy of assiduously avoiding any form of controversial programming. But as each installment aired, ever more controversial and thought-provoking ideas and concepts were subtlely transforming listening audiences' views of the War, its progress, and possible outcomes. While clearly a boon to intellectual diversity over network programming, as the series progressed beyond D-Day and neared an unanticipated end to the War in Europe, NBC became increasingly sensitive to some of the more controversial selections it had been dramatizing from week to week.

Johnson's Wax sponsored the Summer 1944 run which commenced shortly after D-Day on July 27, 1944, with a planned fifteen-episode summer replacement program for Fibber McGee and Molly. Rebranded The Johhson's Wax Program -- Words At War, the series was rescheduled only once for a reshuffling to allow the broadcast of the dramatization of two books, Time For Decision and United States War Aims, in place of the previously announced Return of The Traveler. Once Words At War resumed as a sustaining broadcast, apparently in response to increasing popular demand, it annouced two 'by request' rebroadcasts from the Johnson's Wax-sponsored summer run to apparently catch up with continued demand for the program.

Once it had ordered--and resumed--new programs, the series was again overtaken by events such as the Election results of 1944. While juggling and re-juggling the line-up, the series seemed to finally settle in to a fairly regular Wednesday night series of final broadcasts. But as America unknowingly approached V-E Day, the backlash from the more conservative factions of American society were apparently wearing NBC down. Indeed, by the April 17, 1944 broadcast of They Left the Back Door Open, NBC felt compelled to distance themselves from their critically acclaimed production with pointed disclaimers at the beginning and end of the broadcast.

By the end of the series one could almost sense NBC breathing a collective sigh of relief at the end of the production. The--again--unanticipated arrival of V.E. Day apparently signaled an appropriate end for the ground-breaking and controversial Words At War series. Perhaps it was simply a corporate fear that they were beginning to sound more like their more progressive competitor, CBS. And indeed, V-J Day, as it turned out, was still some three months off. But the powers that be apparently felt enough was enough. Grappling with a public that had begun to grow more than a little disenchanted with the power politics and corporate compromises that had forced the World into War in the first place, wasn't a prospect NBC felt compelled to deal with any further.

What remains from this fascinating series is a highly reflective, introspective and in many respects still controversial production of literary observations on the dynamics of World War, the innocent millions caught in the crossfire of War, and the inevitable microscope focused on the causes of War in the first place. The World was unquestionably relieved at the end of world war, but the four years of questioning the rationale behind world war was viewed by many in power as a threat. For the over one hundred authors of the works dramatized in Words At War, their widely varying, yet common message throughout the series was poignantly simple--"Why?" . . . . "Why war in the first place?" . . . "How do we stop any further conflicts in their tracks?" . . . and ultimately, "Why do the populations of the world continue to allow those in power to undertake war as any form of alternative?"

Though the answers to those enduring questions may seem self-evident to some, for a powerful minority of special interests throughout the world, those questions are--and remain--the fabric of anarchy, communism, socialism, or whatever 'ism' those powerful interests oppose as a threat to their continued power and influence.

All the more reason to mark this historic series as a genuine anomaly for its era--especially, uncharacteristically, from NBC. But even more reason to respect the immeasurable value of broadcasts such as Words At War--which unfornately have never been repeated so freely and openly during the remainder of broadcast history over any medium outside of the Internet. And all the more reason to marvel at the true freedom of thought and expression throughout The Golden Age of Radio; a period that remains one of the most genuinely democratic eras of American History. Indeed, an era that even NBC felt compelled to honor--for a while at least.

We challenge anyone to give Words At War an at least occasional re-airing without coming away with the a sense of loss regarding how free and diverse the 'public airwaves' truly were . . . once upon a time.

Notes on Provenances:

The most helpful provenances were the log of the radioGOLDINdex and newspaper listings. Indeed, virtually every other 'conventional' radio history source we consulted was in error as to the details of this historic program.

We invite you to compare our fully provenanced research with the '1,500 expert researchers' at the OTRR and their Words At War log, which the OTRR claims to be correct according to their 'OTTER log' they represent as the "most authoritative and accurate vintage Radio database in the world":

OTRisms:

We've recounted time and time again the destructiveness of plagiarism in logging radio programs from The Golden Age of Radio. We take no delight whatsoever in continually revealing the gross misinformation regarding these programs that's been circulated--to apparently great commercial success--by the commercial 'otr purveyors' of the vintage radio hobby. But 'the big lie' that this harmful minority of collectors and book-sellers has perpetuated for the past 35 years comes into greater and greater focus with each new series that we document.

The misinformation regarding Words At War is even more befuddling given the obviously literary source material that was dramatized by this series in the first place..

As we've done before, we simply ask any rational, thoughtful collector--novice or expert--to conduct a few simple internet searches to illustrate the problem of rampant plagiarism far better than we ever could. Simply type any of the following quoted searches in any search engine and witness the plagiarism problem first hand:

"The Last Days of Sevestopol"
"Firm Hands, Silent People"
"Dynamate Cargo"
"Free Lands" "Words At War"
"Hail Caesar (El Duce)"
"Fair Stood the Winds of France"
"One Thing After Another" "Words At War"
"It's Always Bright Tomorrow"
"Borrowed Nights" "Words At War"
"Faith of Our Fathers" "Words At War"
"Tomorrow We'll See" "Words At War"
"The Road To Curftom"
"Lin Taie"
"Boris Voitikov"
"Michael Peddap"
"Tom Traynor" "Words At War"

What do all of those searches have in common? They're all factually inaccurate, misleading, misspelled or simply made up.

And yes, you'll find our own .pdf log from four years ago in a couple of those searches as well. We pulled that log some time ago, but it remains circulating in the recesses of Google's gigantic caches. We used to believe that when we paid $90 for an 'authoritative' book on Radio Drama that we had every right to expect it to be accurate--$90 accurate in any case. Oops, we were mislead as well. But we didn't perpetuate the problem--we fixed it. 'nuff said.

And a suggestion for all of those 'successful otr authors' profiting so handsomely from plundering and plagiarizing the radioGOLDINdex: when the radioGOLDINdex puts a "(?)" after a name or title it means it isn't sure if that's the correct spelling. That's the signal to actually do some homework of your own--for a change.

Several of the programs from the Words At War canon apparently never aired as a conventional, scheduled broadcast. We believe that list to include:

White Brigade
Pastoral
Traveler From Tokyo
Tarawa
Return of The Traveler
Mr. Glencannon Ignores the War

This also underscores our belief that the original canon of Words At War might well have included 104 programs in all, including the genuine rebroadcasts. As it currently stands we count at least 99 possible broadcasts, with at least the above cited six episodes never having actually aired. Given the 'magic number' "104," divisible by the industry-standard 13-episode increments, that would yield eight, ordered increments of 13 episodes over the course of the various runs. We feel that estimate is well supported. But it remains to be proven. We'll keep looking.

The series experienced several misfires over its run, as evidenced by the four programs that never apparently aired, as well as the numerous rescheduled programs and pre-emptions the series experienced over its various runs.

What you see here, is what you get. Complete transparency. Here's how we did it--for better or worse. Here's how you can build on it yourselves--hopefully for the better. Here's the breadcrumbs--just follow the trail a bit further if you wish. No hobbled downloads. No misdirection. No misrepresentations. No strings attached. We point you in the right direction and you're free to expand on it, extend it, use it however it best advances your efforts.

We ask one thing and one thing only--if you employ what we publish, attribute it, before we cite you on it.

We continue to provide honest research into these wonderful Golden Age Radio programs simply because we love to do it.

The Words At War Radio Program Biographies

Joseph Walton Losey, III (Director) (1909-1984) Birthplace: La Crosse, Wisconsin, U.S.A. Radiography: 1937 The Columbia Workshop 1943 The Long Name None Could Spell 1943 Words At War	Joseph Losey circa 1943 Joseph Losey circa 1955 Losey directed over 30 films between 1939 and 1985 Losey directed Taylor-Burton in 1968's Boom	Joseph Losey would have been 100 years of age this year. Born to a prominent Wisconsin family, he was tall, handsome, Ivy League educated, and an extremely idealistic young American. He received his Drama and Stage education studying under Berthold Brecht in Germany. Upon returning to the U.S., he traveled to Hollywood, anxious to get involved with the film industry as a writer or director. His first film was a promotional feature for The Petroleum Industries of America, titled Pete-Roleum and His Cousins (1939). Considering his later notoriety as an alleged enemy of 'commerce and the American Way,' Losey's first film assignment is more than ironic, upon reflection. Pretty much relegated to documentary shorts for M-G-M, Losey's first four films between 1939 and 1945 were documentary shorts of one type or another, the most important of which was probably Crime Does Not Pay No. 46, 'A Gun In His Hand.' It should come as no surprise then, that Losey jumped at the opportunity to direct the first two orders of NBC's Words At War in 1943. Given Losey's background he should have been the ideal selection as director of the series. The more idealistic books and literary selections dramatized during the series very much reflected Losey's staunchly idealistic--albeit somewhat naive--beliefs about America and its ideals. Those twenty-six programs spanned a fairly wide swath of the literary landscape of the era--especially over the stauchly conservative NBC. Once free of his obligations to NBC, Losey launched his first successful feature length film, Galileo (1947), a period piece starring Charles Laughton as Galileo Galilei. Losey followed Galileo with his The Boy With Green Hair (1948) a film still considered a classic of its era. A 'message piece', The Boy with Green Hair was very much in the mold of the war books Losey had dramatized in Radio's Words At War for twenty-six installments. And in fact it was that very idealism that ran him afoul with the infamous House Un-American Activities Committee during the McCarthy era--even more ironic since both McCarthy and Losey were famous sons of Wisconsin. But that didn't stop McCarthy from running Losey out of the country on a rail. He emigrated to Great Britain in 1952, because of the common language – and to join the growing community of MCarthy-era American ex-patriate artists, writers, actors and directors living in self-imposed asylum in the U.K. during the 1950s and 1960s.
