About the author
Born in 1913, Drew Middleton became one of the best-known military journalists of his era. He worked first for the Associated Press and later for The New York Times, where he was noted for his combat reporting during World War II and for his coverage of postwar Europe and the Cold War.
Middleton spent decades reporting on international and military affairs, including service as The New York Times bureau chief in London. Alongside his journalism, he wrote more than a dozen books on warfare, diplomacy, and foreign policy, building a reputation for explaining complex conflicts in a direct, readable way.
He died in 1990 after a career that lasted nearly half a century. Readers return to his books not just for the history they record, but for the perspective of someone who watched many of the twentieth century's defining military and political struggles up close.
