One of the best anthologies to come out of WWII. This volume begins with William Shirer's account of the Munich Conference in 1938 and ends with Walter Bernstein's report on the Italian campaign in 1944. In between we have Gertrude Stein, living in German occupied France; Martha Gellhorn in a RAF

Mostly excellent. There were a few selections that were more reporter-centric then I would have preferred, but then it is a book about reporting WW II.
Liebling, Pyle, and the Tarawa account stand out.

Really good stuff. Wish I knew more about the journalists themselves, but still very good. The VietNam series I thought better primarily because I could relate to it better. Still good! Finished 10 June 2021.
