hardcover. Condition: Good. Our good condition books are generally good for reading but not for gifting or collecting. They could have imperfections such as creasing, fanning, inscriptions, margin notes, yellowing, staining on edge or cover or pages, bumps, scuffs, etc etc (sometimes multiple of these). It's a wide category that encompasses anything that isn't almost-new down to anything that is slightly better than poor. We would NOT recommend gifting Good books - these should be considered reading copies. Our books are dispatched from a Yorkshire former cotton mill. We list via barcode/ISBN so please note that the images are stock images and may not be the exact copy you receive, furthermore the details about edition and year might not be accurate as many publishers reuse the same ISBN for multiple editions and as we simply scan a barcode or enter an ISBN we do not check the validity of the edition data when listing. If you're looking for an exact edition please don't order (at least not without checking with us first, although we don't always have time to check). We aim to dispatch prompty, the service used will depend on order value and book size. We can ship to most countries, see our shipping policies. Payment is via Abe only.

About the book >.>.> Tugging a portable typewriter from his commando back-pack, he tapped out his first despatch, crouching in a bullet-spattered ditch, making light of the fact he had been one-armed since birth. He had already covered the epic Allied assault on Monte Cassino in Italy and went on to crash-land across the Rhine with elite American airborne forces, beat advancing British troops into Hamburg and file early reports from Belsen concentration camp. His determination to be first with the news, then and always, made him something of a legend at Reuters, arguably the greatest of the world's news agencies. Within two decades he had become its editor and deputy general manager. By then, with characteristic dash and brio, he had reported some of the other great news stories of the era, including Gandhi's assassination from New Delhi and Mao Tse-tung's civil war meetings with Generalissimo Chiang Kai-shek in Chungking. This autobiography has also been tapped out with that crisp and colourful urgency which characterised his.
