About the author
Born in New York City in 1913, Drew Middleton built his career as a reporter for the Associated Press and later for The New York Times. He became especially known for his combat reporting during World War II, when he covered the war in Europe and wrote dispatches from major military campaigns.
After the war, he continued reporting from key international posts, including the Soviet Union and several countries in Western Europe. Over time he became one of the best-known American journalists covering military strategy, diplomacy, and the long tensions of the Cold War.
Middleton also wrote more than a dozen books on war, foreign policy, and international affairs. He died in Manhattan on January 10, 1990, leaving behind a body of work that helped many readers make sense of global conflict and power politics in the twentieth century.
