Sommario/riassunto |
|
Quentin Reynolds' 'The Wounded Don't Cry' offers a first-hand account of life during the early days of World War II. Written from the perspective of a journalist, the book captures the experiences and challenges faced while covering the war in Europe. Through vivid descriptions and personal anecdotes, Reynolds illustrates the intensity and unpredictability of war, as well as the resilience of those living through it. The narrative is set against the backdrop of significant historical events, such as the fall of Paris and the Battle of Britain. This work serves as a testament to the courage of individuals and the indomitable spirit of cities like London during wartime. Aimed at readers interested in history and journalism, the book provides a unique glimpse into the life of a war correspondent. |
