The War He Knew - New York Times

The War He Knew - New York Times: "Growing up in Indiana, I had the advantage of looking back at World War II history through the eyes of a native son and one of the greatest of war writers, Ernie Pyle. Archives of the syndicated column he wrote six times a week for three years took me from the bomb shelters in London to the beaches of Normandy and the North African coast to the islands in the Pacific. Ernie Pyle left the stories of the MacArthurs and battle architects to others. He was a soldier’s reporter."
