This book has a collection of stories that originally appeared in The American Weekly in 1946-48. In this book are great stories of great fights by great editors and their reporters on the side of the people. The stories adhere as closely to the truth as our American Weekly research staff could get. These adventures of brave editors have been or will be matched at some time or other in the history of almost every newspaper published in America today. These are stories of editors and reporters who found something afoul of legality, civil rights, or our personal liberties and had the guts to flesh out the real story and reasons why this was going on, even at the risk of their own lives. A clean very presentable copy.…
