About this title

Synopsis

The "Christian Science Monitor" is probably the only newspaper in U.S. which has provided in-depth coverage of world events in every decade of the 20th century as a national newspaper. This book commemorates the "Monitor's" coverage of a major theme across the scope of the entire century - the rise and fall of Communism in the Soviet Union. A hallmark of the "Monitor" has been its consistent attempt to put events in perspective with a poise that remains about the fray. It has not just reported major events with an indiscriminate sense of urgency - no matter how important or pressing they might seem. Instead there are many examples of giving its readers a long term and balanced view on the likely direction of events. Selections from the works of "Monitor" correspondents paint a picture of a consistent commitment to freedom by a great newspaper on a daily basis, in the face of major events and upheavals across an entire century. If represents the kind of journalism which caused former editor Erwin D.Canham to little his 1958 history of the first 50 years of the "Monitor", "Commitment to Feedom".
