Description: "In print, Brooks' wartime dispatches would equal 2,000 pages ... The criteria used in selection ... began with the requirement that Brooks was a witness to the events he described or that he personally interviewed eyewitnesses. Paragraphs containing color, human interest, and amusing anecdotes are included, such as descriptions of life in the White House, parades, or an occasional angry debate in the Congress"--Page 19.
