Soldier of the Press: Covering the Front in Europe and North Africa, 1936-1943

Sentenced to death as a Fascist spy by Republican forces in war-torn Spain, decorated for saving an airman s life in a bullet-ridden B-24 Liberator over Greece, war correspondent Henry Hank Gorrell often found himself in the thick of the fighting he had been sent to cover. And in reporting on some of the world s most dangerous stories, he held newspaper readers spellbound with his eyewitness accounts from battlefields across Europe, Africa, and the Middle East. His memoir, left in an attic trunk for sixty years, is presented here in its entirety for the first time.
