War Correspondent: From D-Day to the Elbe (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780595397174)

During World War II, author Holbrook Bradley's frontline stories of the Twenty-ninth Division, stationed in Europe, became a daily Baltimore Sun must-read. Between 1943 and 1945 thousands of families, friends, and lovers followed Bradley's reports as the chronology of Hitler's defeat unrolled.

Now Bradley retells his story in a far more personal narrative. War Correspondent tells the intimate details of his life as a correspondent fully "embedded" in a division that successfully completed every mission assigned to it, at a cost of thousands of dead and wounded. From the beaches of Normandy to the crossing of the Rhine and the early duties of occupation, Bradley chronicles the collapse of a nation physically destroyed by hubris and a war that changed the face of Europe.
