war correspondents

A memoir in which journalist Andy Rooney shares the memories of his experiences in World War II.

Laura Kasinof studied Arabic in college and moved to Yemen a few years later to work as a freelance journalist. When she first moved to Sanaa in 2009, she was the only American reporter based there. When antigovernment protests broke out in Yemen, part of the revolts sweeping the Arab world at the time, she contacted the New York Times to see if she could cover the rapidly unfolding events for the newspaper. Laura never planned to be a war correspondent, but found herself in the middle of brutal government attacks on peaceful protesters. As foreign reporters were rounded up and shipped out of the country, Laura managed to elude the authorities but found herself increasingly isolated--and even more determined to report on what she saw.

George Benedict chronicles the experiences he had while serving in the Union Army during the Civil War through personal letters to his friends and family.

The author recounts his experiences as a war correspondent on Guadalcanal in 1942 and discusses the jungle environment, conversations among the men before, during, and after the battle, and describes how the wounded were evacuated from the island.

Presents twenty-six short stories, set in the Civil War, by nineteenth-century American author Ambrose Bierce, and also includes Bierce's memoirs of the war and chronicles of major battles.
