This unprecedented anthology evokes an extraordinary period in American history-and in American journalism. Drawn from wartime newspaper and magazine reports, radio transcripts, and books, Reporting World War II captures the war's unfolding drama through the work of over eighty writers, the best of a remarkable generation of reporters. In this volume, Ernie Pyle bears witness to war in the foxholes; A.J. Liebling covers D-Day; Robert Sherrod and Tom Lea record the horrors of Pacific Island warfare; Edward R. Murrow and Martha Gellhorn describe the liberation of Buchenwald and Dachau. Two great books are included in full: Bill Mauldin's Up Front with all 162 cartoons, and John Hersey's Hiroshima. Contains a chronology of the war, maps, profiles of the journalists, glossary, notes, and an insert featuring 32 pages of photographs of the correspondents. A companion volume covers 1938-1944. "Never before had the responsibilities of American journalism been so clear: to report accurately and fairly the unparalleled heroism and unspeakable evil they witnessed. Their legacy is one not only of great writing, but of great citizenship, for it contributes to our understanding of who we are as a nation, and how we fare when we are sorely tested."—Dan Rather
