war correspondents

Collects Walter Cronkite's letters to his wife Betsy during World War II when he was a war correspondent living overseas.

A personal narrative of the war in Afghanistan and how it went dangerously wrong. Graeme Smith was a young reporter who, for several years, was the only Western journalist brave enough to live full-time in the perilous southern region. This account of modern warfare takes the reader into alleys, cockpits, and prisons. Smith was not simply embedded with the military. He operated independently and at great personal risk to report from inside the war. The heroes of his story are the translators, guides, and ordinary citizens who helped him find the truth and they provided the key to understanding why the West failed to deliver peace and democracy.

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