Overview
Ernie Pyle was a newspaper journalist whose friendly, down-home writing style carried him from the first aviation column ever written to years of one-of-a-kind travel columns during the 1930s, and finally to international renown as the voice of the American soldiers fighting in World War II. He was the only correspondent to live right alongside the troops, and this biography goes a long way to convey a sense of this touching, funny, influential man.Editorials

Gr 5-8Ernie Pyle, a U.S. syndicated columnist during World War II, portrayed for Americans how their soldiers lived, fought, and died. The 1944 Pulitzer Prize winner was noted for his casual, folksy way of telling stories. O'Connor has created a fine, well-written introduction to the man, complete with a selection of black-and-white photographs that elucidate the text. A worthwhile purchase.L. R.
