Description
Book SynopsisAn enthralling account of World War II across all its theaters through the eyes and experiences of the top journalists who witnessed it
Trade Review“Reading this book is an engrossing experience. Not only has Moseley dug deeply and assiduously in the archives to retrieve some treasures which might have remained hidden but he has also managed to keep humanity in focus.”—Trevor Royle,
Glasgow Herald -- Trevor Royle * Glasgow Herald *
“Ray Moseley calls the Second World War the greatest news story of all time, and it is impossible to disagree… There is also heroism, and some brilliant writing, such as the description of Tokyo by George Weller of
The Chicago Daily News as “
an ashtray filled with the cigarette butts of buildings”. —Lewis Jones,
Sunday Telegraph -- Lewis Jones * Sunday Telegraph *
“[
Reporting War] tells the stories of dozens of correspondents from the United States and Allied nations. Moseley’s richly detailed narrative celebrates these men — and women — who put their lives on the line (and, all too often, lost them) to inform the folks back home about the day-to-day existence of infantrymen, slaughter on the beaches, bombers over Berlin, and concentration camp survivors. A deeply human and humane book, Reporting War is about fear and courage, competition for a scoop, pettiness and patriotism.”—Glenn Altschuler,
Tulsa World -- Glenn Altschuler * Tulsa World *
“A thorough volume for journalism and World War II collections, and for readers interested in tales of bravery.”—
