"Reginald Thompson, born 1904, established himself as a war correspondent during World War Two. He covered the Korean frontline for the Daily Telegraph for the first four months and this personal account reveals much about the life of a war correspondent in 1950, when the face of war seemed to be changing and when copy didn?t always reach home. More than that, it gives a rare glimpse into a country at the start of half a century of division. With an immediate style and poetic sensibility, at its best Cry Korea is immensely readable, elegant and compelling, occasionally Hemingway-esque" (London Korea Links review).
