  • Edward R. Murrow
    Edward R. Murrow Edward Roscoe Murrow (April 25, 1908 – April 27, 1965), born Egbert Roscoe Murrow,[1] was an American broadcast journalist and war correspondent. He first gained Edward R. Murrow prominence during World War II with a series of live radio broadcasts from Europe for the news division of CBS. During the war he recruited and worked closely with a team of war correspondents who came to be known as the Murrow Boys. A pioneer of radio and television news broadcasting, Murrow produced a series of reports on his television program See It Now which helped lead to the censure of Senator Joseph McCarthy. Fellow journalists Eric Sevareid, Ed Bliss, Bill Downs, Dan Rather, and Alexander Kendrick consider Murrow one of journalism's greatest figures, noting his honesty and integrity in delivering the news.

  • How Foreign Correspondents Risked Capture, Torture and Death to Cover World War II by Ray Moseley
    2017-042 12 May 2017 Reporting War: How Foreign Correspondents Risked Capture, Torture and Death to Cover World War II by Ray Moseley. New Haven: Yale Univ. Press, 2017. Pp. xiii, 421. ISBN 978–0–300–22466–5. Review by Donald Lateiner, Ohio Wesleyan University ([email protected]). As a child, Ray Moseley listened to reporters of World War II on the radio. He later came to know fourteen of them, but they never spoke of their experiences and he never asked (xi)—a missed oppor- tunity many of us have experienced with the diminishing older generation. 1 Moseley himself was a war and foreign correspondent for forty years from 1961, so he knows the territory from the inside out. He was posted to Moscow, Berlin, Belgrade, and Cairo, among many newspaper datelines. His book is an account and tribute to mostly British and American reporters who told “the greatest story of all time” (1, unintended blasphemy?). 2 He does not include World War II photographers as such, 3 but offers photos taken of many reporters. As usual, the European theater gets fuller attention than the Pacific (17 of the book’s 22 chapters). By design, breadth of coverage here trumps depth.4 Moseley prints excerpts from British, Australian, Canadian, Soviet, South African, Danish, Swedish, French, and Italian reporters. He excludes Japanese and German correspondents because “no independent reporting was possible in those countries” (x). This is a shame, since a constant thread in the reports is the relentless, severe censorship in occupied countries, invaded and invading Allied authorities, and the American and British Armed Forces them- selves.

    C-SPAN FIRST LADIES ELEANOR ROOSEVELT JUNE 9, 2014 11:33 a.m. ET (BEGIN VIDEO CLIP) ELEANOR ROOSEVELT: I'm speaking to you tonight at a very serious moment in our history. The cabinet is convening and the leaders in Congress are meeting with the president. The State Department and Army and Navy officials have been with the president all afternoon. In fact, the Japanese ambassador was talking to the president at the very time that Japan's airships were bombing our citizens in Hawaii and the Philippines and sinking one of our transports, loaded with lumber on its way to Hawaii. By tomorrow morning, the members of Congress will have a full report and be ready for action. (END VIDEO CLIP) PETER SLEN, HOST: And you've been listening to some of Eleanor Roosevelt's radio address hours after the attack on Pearl Harbor in 1941. In fact, she gave that address before her husband, FDR, even spoke to the nation. For the next two hours, we're going to get to know this transformational first lady. She's consistently ranked first in historians' polls on first ladies. And we're going to look at her life, her relationships, and her time in the White House from 1933 to 1945. Well, good evening and welcome to C-SPAN's "First Ladies: Influence and Image" series. Joining us this evening to talk about Eleanor Roosevelt, Allida Black, who is the editor of the Eleanor Roosevelt Papers Project at George Washington University and a historian, and another historian, Doug Brinkley, who is also an author from Rice University.

  • Operation Market Garden
    Operation Market Garden Monty's massive cock-up... Compiled by Andy Owen Operation Market Garden (17–25 September 1944) was an unsuccessful Allied military operation, fought in the Netherlands and Germany in the Second World War. The operation was split into two sub-operations: Market - the airborne forces, the First Allied Airborne Army, who would seize bridges Garden - the ground forces, consisting of the British XXX Corps Market Garden contained the largest airborne operation up to that point. Field Marshal Montgomery's strategic goal was to encircle the heart of German industry, the Ruhr, in a pincer movement. The northern end of the pincer would circumvent the northern end of the Siegfried Line giving easier access into Germany. The aim of Operation Market Garden was to establish the northern end of a pincer, ready to project deeper into Germany. 1 Allied forces would project north from Belgium, 60 miles (97 km) through Holland, across the Rhine and consolidate north of Arnhem on the Dutch/German border ready to close the pincer. The operation made massed use of airborne forces, whose tactical objectives were to secure the bridges and allow a rapid advance by armoured ground units to consolidate north of Arnhem. The operation required the seizure of the bridges across the Maas (Meuse River), two arms of the Rhine (the Waal and the Lower Rhine) together with crossings over several smaller canals and tributaries. Several bridges between Eindhoven and Nijmegen were captured at the beginning of the operation. Lieutenant-General Brian Horrocks' XXX Corps ground force advance was delayed by the initial failure of the airborne units to secure bridges at Son and Nijmegen.
