"Gives insights into the challenges and practices of war reporting."
—Nancy L. Roberts, University at Albany, SUNY Thoburn H. "Toby" Wiant was a fighter from an early age, and words were
his weapons of choice. During World War II, he fought to scoop stories from rival
reporters on the front lines as an Associated Press war correspondent. In chronicling
the war from the China-Burma-India and European theaters of operation, he skillfully
reported the battles of an all-too-real war while often in personal peril. In letters to
his parents he revealed his personal reactions to the war. In this remarkable book, his
daughter brings together Wiant’s printed articles and his private letters. With her aid,
we view the war through his eyes as we watch a scrappy boy grow into manhood and an
eager cub reporter develop into a seasoned war correspondent.
| Following in her father’s footsteps, Susan E. Wiant is a freelance copywriter and editor. |
