Publisher's Summary
Writer James Tobin on this edition of Fresh Air. He's the author of a biography of World War Two correspondent, Ernie Pyle who was beloved by the public, the G.I.'s and the Generals alike. He witnessed the great American campaigns of the war - North Africa, Sicily, Italy, D-Day, Normandy, the liberation of Paris, and Okinawa. Eleanor Roosevelt was a fan of his work. She said, "I would not miss that column any day if I could possibly help it." Pyle was killed in Okinawa just three weeks short of the war's end. Tobin's book is Ernie Pyle's War: America's Eyewitness to World War II. Tobin's newest book is To Conquer the Air: The Wright Brothers and the Great Race for Flight. (Broadcast Date: April 7, 2003)
