註釋

"Called beautiful, macabre, disturbing, Lili Marleen influenced millions of people the world over. She was mysterious, romantic, a harlot, a saint. What was the secret of the song that stirred the hearts and minds of soldiers and civilians throughout the world, and why did it involve Lady Astor, Joseph Goebbels, Dwight David Eisenhower, Winston Churchill, Erwin Rommel, and Joseph Stalin? Why was this song recorded by some of the best-known singers of this century -- singers like Bing Crosby, Lale Andersen, Anne Shelton, Vera Lynn, Marlene Dietrich, Anna Neagle, Connie Francis, Greta Keller, Jean-Claude Pascal, and others? And what of the author of the song -- Hans Leip -- who quietly retired to Switzerland after years of torment from the Nazis? This fascinating story of the best-known song in history reads like a detective thriller -- but it is truth. The tales of the countless men and women who guided the song's musical form or were its listeners are told with warmth. Packaged with the book is a recording of the best-known versions of Lili Marleen, and the original version, sung by the author of the song, Hans Leip."--Page [4] of cover.
