Features: This book collects 105 classic reports on World War II. The purpose of this book, "is to provide outstanding reporting on World War II, with a particular emphasis on battlefield reporting." Most of the authors were professional journalists who experienced the war firsthand. The materials in the book are mostly compiled from American newspapers, but some reports from British, French, Soviet, German, and Japanese newspapers are also selected to show the perspectives of both sides on a specific historical fact, allowing for a comparison of "two sides of a news story" to better demonstrate the compilers' insight and wisdom. Among the works collected in this book, a small portion are not written by journalists but are masterpieces by renowned authors of the time, such as Hemingway, Steinbeck, Maurice, Faulkner, and playwrights such as Agnes and Brown.
