Drawn from original newspaper & magazine reports, radio transcripts, & wartime books, "Reporting World War II" captures the intensity of the war's unfolding drama as recorded by the best of a remarkable generation of journalists, whose talents, sense of purpose, & physical courage remain unsurpassed in the annals of war reporting. Here in one collection, more than 80 writers, famous & forgotten alike, confront the crucial events of those years in writing of exceptional skill & emotional force. The first volume traces the buildup to war & the first years of fighting: the Munich crisis, Kristallnacht, the fall of Poland & France, Pearl Harbor & Bataan, Guadalcanal & Salerno. William L. Shirer, Sigrid Schulz, & Howard K. Smith observe Nazi Germany from the inside; Edward R. Murrow & Ernie Pyle report from London during the Blitz; A.J. Liebling chronicles the Tunisian campaign; Margaret Bourke-White casts her eye on the Russian & Italian fronts. In a time when public perceptions were shaped mainly by the written word, correspondents like these were often as influential as politicians & as celebrated as movie stars. Writers who covered the home front are included as well: E.B. White at a bond rally in Maine, Brendan Gill on gas rationing, James Agee's caustic reviews of Hollywood war movies. And so are the famous literary figures who covered the war: Gertrude Stein in occupied France, John Steinbeck on a troopship bound for Italy. Here too are writers on aspects of the war still often neglected: George S. Schuyler & other African-American journalists attacking racism & segregation in the armed forces; Mary Heaton Vorse on the women working in the defense industries; a firsthand account of the internment of Japanese-Americans. This volume contains a detailed chronology of the war, historical maps, biographical profiles of the journalists, explanatory notes, a glossary of military terms, & an index. Also included are thirty-two pages of photographs of the correspondents, many from private collections & never seen before. A companion volume covers 1944-1946. * The LIBRARY OF AMERICA is an award-winning, nonprofit program dedicated to publishing America's best & most significant writing in handsome, enduring volumes, featuring authoritative texts. Hailed as "the most important book-publishing project in the nation's history" (Newsweek), this acclaimed series is restoring America's literary heritage in "the finest-looking, longest-lasting edition ever made" (New Republic). …
