Description: "This is the dramatic, highly personal story of the years that spanned World War II and the seminal events that preceded it - the Ethiopian War, the Spanish Civil War, Munich - by one of the foremost foreign correspondents of his generation. First as Randolph Hearst's bureau chief in Rome, where he was stationed from 1935 to 1939, then as a roving reporter for Collier's magazine with the freedom to go wherever important news might take him, Frank Gervasi had a ringside view of the Second World War."--Book Jacket.
