George Bronson Rea, Propagandist brings to life the extraordinary
story of a journalist, publisher, engineer, spy, lobbyist,
blackmailer and fortune hunter, who represents twentieth century
journalism gone awry. Rea's career as a foreign correspondent and
then magazine publisher illuminates essential issues of
journalistic ethics that still resonate in today's world, and
provides a fascinating look at international relations and U.S.
history from the Spanish-American War to the Great Depression. This
is also a who's who biography including Rea's connection to: U.S.
presidents Theodore Roosevelt, Howard Taft, Woodrow Wilson, Herbert
Hoover, historic icons William Randolph Hearst, Joseph Pulitzer,
J.P Morgan, writer Stephen Crane, China's revolutionary hero Sun
Yat-sen and many others. The biography reveals what made Rea switch
from being a trusted "old China hand" to betraying his allies to
become a propagandist for Japan's invasion and take-over of
Manchuria.
