Book description
The classic, human-scale account of the soldiers who fought in World War II, by Pulitzer Prize winner Ernie Pyle--America's most famous and most loved war correspondent--featuring a new introduction by David Chrisinger, the author of the new Ernie Pyle biography, The Soldier's Truth A Penguin Classic When America entered World War II, Ernie Pyle followed the soldiers into the trenches. Long before television and the internet beamed combat footage directly to us, his dispatches from the front lines augmented the coverage of the war's politics, strategies, and macro-level mobilizations to give the American public what he called his "worm's-eye view" of the day-to-day life of the war. He captured, as John Steinbeck described it in Time magazine, the "war of the homesick, weary, funny, violent, common men who wash their socks in their helmets, complain about the food . . . and bring themselves through as dirty a business as the world has ever seen and do it with humor and dignity and courage--and that is Ernie Pyle's war." A number-one bestseller upon its publication in 1944, Brave Men remains unmatched in its clarity, sympathy, and grit as a portrait of America's boys who fought in Europe, and lives on as a testament to the enduring value of embedded journalism in reporting the truth.
