Synopses & Reviews
From the American Revolution to the Persian Gulf War, American reporters have always been where the action is! This riveting narrative now tells the stirring stories of those daring reporters and photographers who at great personal risk have brought us the news from front lines around the world. From Stephen Crane and Ernest Hemingway to Dickey Chapelle and Peter Arnett, author M.L. Stein, a former reporter, vividly describes the straggles of journalists who have overcome every obstacle -- including their own government's censorship -- and faced death itself to get the story and images before the public. Filled with tales of heroism and humor, Under Fire celebrates the courage, determination, and enterprise of this extraordinary breed of men and women.
