Contact seller4-star sellerOctavo, black & gray boards (hardcover), xviii + 397 pp. Fine in a Fine dust jacket. Typewriter Battalion is the exciting chronicle of the most dramatic event of this century -- World War II. Captured in this book are the actual words from the foreign correspondents who reported day to day, battle by battle from the war's front…lines. It was a time, before CNN and the network newscats, when words painted a thousand pictures. The correspondents caught not only the immediacy of the events they had often just witnessed but also the color and pathos of the war. This is the story of the war from Pearl Harbor to the battles in Europe and the Pacific, the Normandy invasion on D-Day, the first atomic bomb over Hiroshima, and the trials of the nazi commanders in Nuremberg. This book renders a vivid portrait of these events by collecting the writings of the war's most distinguished and award-winning correspondents. Included here are the original, up-to-the-minute reports; for instance, there's Walter Cronkite's rousing account of flying with the U.S. Air Force over war-torn Europe, Richard Tragaskis's report from an aircraft carrier en route to bombing Tokyo, Ernie Pyle's poignant tribute to a fallen soldier from Texas. and over seventy-five others. Many of these pieces are first-persona ccounts such as Gault MacGowan's "Escape from the Nazis" and Kingsbury Smith's chilling descriptions of the Nuremberg traials and executions. Tpewriter Battalion uniquely records the war years in the voices of those who observed it up close. Military History, World War II, WWII, Second World War, Journalism. bslic.

Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. First Edition; First Printing. A first edition/first printing in Very Good+ condition that is lightly shelfworn in an alike dust-jacket; This book is an anthology of first-hand accounts of life and war on the front lines of World War II written by typewriter batt…alion soldiers. The typewriter battalion was an isolated unit of soldiers who used typewriters to send front-line dispatches to the home front. The soldiers in the typewriter battalion faced many of the same dangers as their infantry counterparts, but they also had to contend with the added challenge of sending their reports via a mechanical means. The book is both a fascinating look at World War II through the eyes of the typewriter battalion soldiers and a testament to the power of the written word.; 8vo; 397 pages.
