Eric Sevareid wrote this memoir as a young newsman of thirty-two
just home from the war. It was favorably received, sold well, and
acquired the patina of a reference source. In the introduction
written for this reissue, Sevareid calls it an impersonal
autobiography, the product of a stringent Lutheran upbringing: "One
did not impose his deepest emotions upon others and certainly not
upon strangers." His afterthoughts blank out the sage of CBS and
propel the reader toward the young man from North Dakota ("a large,
blank spot in the nation's mind") who, at seventeen, paddled a
canoe twenty-two hundred miles through the northern wilderness,
learned the facts of corporate life on the old Minneapolis Star,
and entered broadcasting as Edward R. Murrow's protege in WW II.
Welcome back. (Kirkus Reviews)
Again available in paperback is Eric Sevareid's widely
acclaimed Not So Wild a Dream. In this brilliant first-person
account of a young journalist's experience during World War II,
Sevareid records both the events of the war and the development of
journalistic strategies for covering international affairs. He also
recalls vividly his own youth in North Dakota, his decision to
study journalism, and his early involvement in radio reporting
during the beginnings of World War II.
