Front Lines to Headlines: The World War I Overseas Dispatches of Otto P. Higgins by James J. Heiman is a narrative review of the complete collection of 218 overseas World War I dispatches, which includes a sampling of dispatches and 42 field photographs.
Both the dispatches and the photographs were created by embedded divisional correspondent Otto P. Higgins and published in The Kansas City Star between May 1918 and July 1919.
Descriptions of the dispatches are presented in narrative form in the book and organized sequentially in monthly installments by date of composition, followed by a representative sampling of photographs and intact articles.

Review
"In Front Lines to Headlines... James J. Heiman offers a valuable service by compiling and presenting the work of an on-the-ground war correspondent in the closing months of the Great War. The book provides an otherwise overlooked piece of Kansas City's wartime history."
Steve Paul, Author of Hemingway at Eighteen: The Pivotal Year That Launched an American Legend
"[Heiman's] manuscript is grounded in solid research done in large part at the National WWI Museum and Memorial’s Edward Jones Research Center, using the Higgins collection as the core primary source for connecting Higgins’ professional, working experience as a war correspondent."
Jonathan R. Casey
Director, Archives and Edward Jones Research Center
National WWI Museum and Memorial
"In Front Lines to Headlines, James Heiman brings to life the dispatches of Otto Higgins from The Great War. He reminds us of an often overlooked aspect of war--how simple acts of humanity and the endurance of the human spirit can accomplish more than bullets."
Bruce Mathews, Author of The Kansas City Spirit: Stories of Service Above Self
