I saw an announcement in the latest Chess Life that the USCF was
releasing all of the issues ever printed of Chess Review (1933-
1969) and all Chess Life issues from 1946 to 2018 on the USCF Web
site. I went there and downloaded all of them. It's very
interesting reading the Chess Reviews from the first decade or more
of that publication's existence. You can read about World War II
starting up and disrupting the International Team Tournament at
Buenos Aires in September 1939. And you can read about the
Americans not being able to send a team to the event because they
couldn't raise the money for it.

The files are here: <https://new.uschess.org/chess-life-digital-archives/> and although the Chess Life article says that they'll be hard to get due to the press of people getting them for the first few months they are in fact easy to get right now.

I'm wallowing in old chess articles and being amused at seeing my
name in there long ago.
