This book recounts his experiences, not only during these times, but also in London during the blitz and in Italy during the liberation.. As a reporter for Randolph Hearst, the author went to Rome in 1935 and covered the events leading up to World War II: Ethiopia, the Spanish Civil War and Munich
His stirring, gutsy chronicle captures significant details as well as the big picture with the vivid immediacy of a newsreel. His first-rate journalism coalesces into an epic historical narrative. He covered the 1938 Munich talks, and went to Palestine in 1940 where thousands of Jewish refugees were pouring in.
