Summary: Outstanding scholarship. A wonderful read!
Comment: "A Dynamite read" Colonel David Hackworth: NEWSWEEK.

"Beautifully written...This masterful collection is for anyone who appreciates good writing and loves journalism. It is a moving account of our republic that honors the best in our profession." Edward Barnes:TIME.

I could not agree more with these quotes from the Oxford University Press edition of DISPATCHES FROM THE FRONT: A History of the American War Correspondent. From typewriter patriots to frontline poets, radio microphones and satelitte links, this book is a stunning illustrated history of the American War Correspondent. I found it facinating, especially the tone and character of the press coverage that has shaped the nation's understanding of itself. Nathaniel Lande is a graceful and insightful writer, a scholar who has written one of the most facinating books with riveting accounts from Ten American Wars. It is more than "national snapshots" of the world and America on the home front and front lines. I felt every musket fire and missile blast from Lexington to Bagdad. I think readers will be particularly moved, as I was, with the selected dispatches filed by Ernest Hemingway, Ernie Pyle and Sydney Schanberg, who with more than sixty other correspondents took me inside American's Wars as they happened.
