Book excerpt: Excerpt from A War Correspondent on His Work The public seems to have formed for itself two widely different pictures of the present - day War Correspondent. There are many people who figure us as breathless young men who dash about, presumably on horseback, among cannon and bursting shells and lines of cheering infantry, seizing and jotting down the impressions of the moment, then hurrying to the nearest tele. Graph office to send them red-hot to their respective journals. It is the traditional picture, composite of reminiscences of Russell, Archibald Forbes, and Bennet Burleigh, with something of Frederic Villiers and Melton Prior thrown in.

Download or read book Ernie Pyles War written by James Tobin and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 1999-01-15 with total page 346 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When a machine-gun bullet ended the life of war correspondent Ernie Pyle in the final days of World War II, Americans mourned him in the same breath as they mourned Franklin Roosevelt. To millions, the loss of this American folk hero seemed nearly as great as the loss of the wartime president. If the hidden horrors and valor of combat persist at all in the public mind, it is because of those writers who watched it and recorded it in the faith that war is too important to be confined to the private memories of the warriors. Above all these writers, Ernie Pyle towered as a giant. Through his words and his compassion, Americans everywhere gleaned their understanding of what they came to call “The Good War.” Pyle walked a troubled path to fame. Though insecure and anxious, he created a carefree and kindly public image in his popular prewar column—all the while struggling with inner demons and a tortured marriage. War, in fact, offered Pyle an escape hatch from his own personal hell. It also offered him a subject precisely suited to his talent—a shrewd understanding of human nature, an unmatched eye for detail, a profound capacity to identify with the suffering soldiers whom he adopted as his own, and a plain yet poetic style reminiscent of Mark Twain and Will Rogers. These he brought to bear on the Battle of Britain and all the great American campaigns of the war—North Africa, Sicily, Italy, D-Day and Normandy, the liberation of Paris, and finally Okinawa, where he felt compelled to go because of his enormous public stature despite premonitions of death. In this immensely engrossing biography, affectionate yet critical, journalist and historian James Tobin does an Ernie Pyle job on Ernie Pyle, evoking perfectly the life and labors of this strange, frail, bald little man whose love/hate relationship to war mirrors our own. Based on dozens of interviews and copious research in little-known archives, Ernie Pyle's War is a self-effacing tour de force. To read it is to know Ernie Pyle, and most of all, to know his war.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Log of a Would-Be War Correspondent Early in October, the papers began to rumour of "Trouble in the Balkans," and soon it became evident that some sort of a war was about to take place between the Balkan peoples and the Turks. This news seemed to be received with calm interest by the public, but in me it started a veritable fire. The summer before I had travelled through Bulgaria and Servia on my way to Constantinople, and those two names brought a host of memories to my mind. Servia I thought of as a land of grey, rocky hills, of gorges and swift, reddish rivers. I could taste again the strongly flavoured wine of the country and see with startling exactness the flocks of goats climbing the hillsides.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Letters of a War Correspondent NO more graphic, faithful, or venturous correspondent than Charles A. Page looked on at our civil war, and none more truthfully or graphically described its momentous events. If Page says that it is so, was a common remark of Horace Greeley's in the Tribune editorial rooms; and the subsequent motto of the Sun, If you see it in the Sun, ' it is so, was merely Charles A. Dana's appropriation of this familiar saying of Mr. Greeley. He once met Mr. Page on a railway train and said to him: We are greatly pleased with your work you are quick and graphic, and give us the news early, and we must have it early; but, Mr. Page, you are the most expensive young man the Tribune has ever employed. To this Mr. Page re plied: Early news is expensive news, Mr. Greeley; if I have the watermelons and whiskey ready when the officers come along from the fight, I get the news without asking questions.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from With Bobs and Krüger: Experiences and Observations of an American War Correspondent in the Field With Both Armies, Illustrated From Photgraphs Taken by the Author The greater part of this country is semi-barren. Sporadic garden-spots of territory exist, while stretches of desert comparable only to the bad lands of the Dakotas abound, and threaten to overwhelm like a rising sea the beautiful island-like oases which the sturdy burghers have torn from the reluctant soil and converted into beautiful homesteads seldom less than five or'ten miles distant from one another.

Download or read book Hell Before Breakfast written by Robert H. Patton and published by Vintage. This book was released on 2015-06-09 with total page 370 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From acclaimed historian Robert H. Patton, author of The Pattons and Patriot Pirates, a rediscovery and celebration of America’s first chroniclers of foreign war. The first war correspondent, William H. Russell of The Times of London, described himself and his profession as “the miserable parent of a luckless tribe.” But it wasn’t long before others saw it differently. Hell Before Breakfast is the spectacular tale of larger-than-life Americans who made it their business to bring back news from the front; from Bull Run to the Paris Commune, from Africa to the Ottoman Empire, through decades of lightning-fast technological progress and high adventure. As America matured into a great power and the monarchies of Europe battled for dominance through a series of brief, bloody imperial wars, with the storm clouds of World War I drawing rapidly closer, these men and their newspapers were at center stage—the vanguard of a golden age of war correspondence.

This book was released on 2018-02 with total page 276 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Sword and Pen, or a Young War Correspondent's Adventures As yet I had not studied my written instructions very carefully. While the train was waiting in the station at Chicago I glanced over the important document given me by Mr. Burnett. It is not necessary to quote it in detail. It included a carefully prepared cipher code for cabling, and also letters of introduction to certain bankers and prominent American business men in Yokohama and Shanghai. The latter were to identify me in my disguise as a gilded youth in search of adventure, and were written by several well-known New Yorkers, directors of the Press Association. Everything had been foreseen and at tended to by the able president, Mr. Parker. Even a typewritten list of the most common words in the Japan ese, Chinese, and Corean languages had been added. This I intended to study on board the steamer while en route to Japan, but I must confess I had little hope of mastering the intricate sentences. Presently, finding the delay growing monotonous, I left the car and began to walk up and down outside. In the Union Depot at Chicago the tracks are laid at a level with the floor, there being no raised platforms between them as in the majority of stations. Passing from one train to another is a process not unaccompanied by danger, as the arrivals and departures are frequent.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from From Tokyo to Tiflis: Uncensored Letters From the War It is the duty of the war correspondent not to betray any military secrets that may come under his notice. In that respect - but in that respect alone - I feel myself as much bound in honour as though a Japanese censor were perusing these pages before they go through to the printers. Apart from that I am free. The armies which permit correspondents to accompany them invite criticism on their administration, methods, and results. The very fact that the people of Russia now regard England with deep disfavour and that English sympathy is so largely with Japan has made me the more careful to do full justice to the Russian position, and to the splendid courage of the Russian soldiers in the war. He would be ungenerous indeed who used the hour of the deep humiliation of a great nation as a suitable time for sneering and contempt. No man can write frankly of recent Russian movements without finding much to condemn. I have sought to word unfavourable criticism in the least offensive fashion.

Book excerpt: "The best book to have been written about the Vietnam War" (The New York Times Book Review); an instant classic straight from the front lines. From its terrifying opening pages to its final eloquent words, Dispatches makes us see, in unforgettable and unflinching detail, the chaos and fervor of the war and the surreal insanity of life in that singular combat zone. Michael Herr’s unsparing, unorthodox retellings of the day-to-day events in Vietnam take on the force of poetry, rendering clarity from one of the most incomprehensible and nightmarish events of our time. Dispatches is among the most blistering and compassionate accounts of war in our literature.
