Guide Review
Reporting World War II
"It changed everything," Stephen Ambrose writes in the "Preface." War was portrayed in painful detail. People around the world were able to read the events of World War II in a way that had never been done before. The stories were told in graphic detail, but the reports also provided the reader with something more ... the power to imagine what it was like to really be there.
