Going in, I've already read 2 books on Edward R. Murrow and an extremely well written biography on Walter Cronkite and aware of Andy Rooney having watched him on 60 minutes my whole life but must admit to being unaware of his service as an enlisted correspondent for Stars and Stripes in World War II as well as all the other journalists mentioned.
To see another side of World War Ii was fascinating to hear of the trials and tribulations of but a small group of were responsible for bringing the news of the war to the home front. The preponderance of the book is spent on the European theater briefly touching on the Pacific and following up with a brief description of their post-war career.
I rate this as a solid 4-star book and encourage those interested in World War II to look at a non typical coverage of the war. ( )
