John MacVane

Entertaining account of a NBC reporter's experiences covering the Blitz, Dieppe, the invasion of North Africa, and Omaha Beach, among other battles. The Dieppe and Omaha Beach accounts alone are well worth it -- surprisingly, I've not seen MacVane's accounts widely shared elsewhere. In part, this may be due to bad luck, since a lot of his reports seem to have gotten censored, or were lost because of technical reasons (like bad batteries). Very much recommended.
