In one year as a journalist Webb Miller covered thirty-three murders and three hangings in Chicago, was kidnapped by an American tycoon and reported from the Western Front. Later he broke news of the WWI armistice, witnessed a guillotine execution, befriended Mussolini, interviewed Hitler, rode a Zeppelin across the Atlantic, reported from the front line in the Spanish Civil War and Italy's invasion of Abyssinia, and accompanied Gandhi on the Great Salt March. Published in 1935, this is a forgotten classic, one of the most evocative and close-to-the-action accounts ever written about the modern world's defining era.
