Between 1925 and 1951, Kent Cooper transformed the Associated
Press, making it the world's dominant news agency while changing
the kind of journalism that millions of readers in the United
States and other countries relied on. Gene Allen's biography is a
globe-spanning account of how Cooper led and reshaped the most
important institution in American--and eventually
international--journalism in the mid-twentieth century. Allen
critically assesses the many new approaches and causes that Cooper
championed: introducing celebrity news and colorful features to a
service previously known for stodgy reliability, pushing through
disruptive technological innovations like the instantaneous
transmission of news photos, and leading a crusade to bring
American-style press freedom--inseparable from private ownership,
in Cooper's view--to every country. His insistence on truthfulness
and impartiality presents a sharp contrast to much of today's
fractured journalistic landscape. Deeply researched and engagingly
written, Mr. Associated Press traces Cooper's career as he built a
new foundation for the modern AP and shaped the twentieth-century
world of news.
The Civil War posed a dilemma for American Quakers, who abhorred
slavery as much as they hated violence. Fighting for the
Confederacy was unthinkable. The situation for the citizens of East
Tennessee-most of whom voted against secession-was especially
vexed. Faced with conscription into the Confederate Army, David
Haworth, two of his brothers, and a group of friends walked from
their home in East Tennessee into Kentucky, moving by night to
avoid Confederate patrols. Arriving in London, Kentucky, they
enlisted in the Union Army as part of the Third Tennessee Infantry.
David kept a diary throughout the Civil War, recounting the unit's
participation in numerous encounters including the battle at
Resaca, Georgia, where his brother William was killed and where he
and his other brother Isaac were wounded, and he went on to write
movingly of one of the last engagements of the war at Nashville.
This memoir is a rare historical source that scholars will find
valuable. It is rich in detail, and Civil War buffs and general
readers alike will find it an engaging firsthand account of our
nation's most tragic conflict.
