write the headlines of World War II.<br />
Amidst the bombs, bullets, and blood of World War II, those who<br />

Hell tells the compelling true stories of fi ve war correspondents—<br />

Together, they placed themselves in the line of fi re, all the while fi lling<br />
newspapers and magazines on the home front with their unique,<br />
unforgettable prose. This is a vivid, exciting tribute to fi ve men who forged<br />
an image of the American fi ghting man for an entire generation while<br />
living the lives and facing the same dangers of the soldiers they covered.<br />
