About This Item
New York: Waybright and Talley, 1969. First Edition 8vo size navy blue clothbound hardcover with dust jacket; pages From jacket: "No American witnessed and recorded 20th Century events of greater moment than Edgar Ansel Mowrer. Throughout a distinguished career, Mowrer's presence at modern history's major confrontations, his understanding of war and politics, helped raise journalism above the tangle of every day events... Here are the dramatic incidents and vivid personalities he illuminated, first at the great Chicago Daily News, later in magazine features and in syndicated columns. Here also are the pivotal events of an age: the eyewitness accounts of the momentous Italian collapse at Caporetto in World War I, ominous warnings from Europe between the wars, accounts of the jockeying of Allied armies and governments after World War II that created a Europe half free, half communist... And here is the man himself... while still a cub, at great risk, carried secret Belgian underground papers into Holland. A man who during the rise of the Third Reich, was expelled by the Nazis for all-too-accurate reports and forecasts...newsman, reporter to an entire generation of Americans."
