John Gunther was a globe-trotting journalist of the mid-1900's who wrote a number of excellent books focusing on politics and life in various parts of the world. He is best known for "Death Be Not Proud", the story of his son, who tragically died of a brain tumor at age 17. Gunther traveled extensively through Europe circa 1936, interviewing political leaders and assessing the climate all throughout. His analysis of Hitler, the possibilities for war, and the social turmoil working its way through almost all of Europe make for fascinating reading, knowing what is soon to come. Gunther provides us with a unique perspective on WWII, reporting up-close on tensions and issues that have been much forgotten over time.
