Hodson ships out to Egypt to cover the war in North Africa, then off to Burma. He was in the infantry in WW I, at the Somme, and a journalist in WW II. He tells us what he does and where he goes, and along the way tells us about 200 stories of the people he meets, from a few words to a couple pages. Great stuff. This turns out to be his third book of war reportage. I enjoyed enough to want to seek out his first two. |
