We Felt The Flames: Hitler's Blitzkrieg, America's Story

Rating:
Summary: A wonderful, well written book
Review: Charles Kupfer, clearly a wordsmith of the top rank, has written a fantastic book about how the news media covered the enormously important events of World War II. Through clear and enjoyable writing, the author helps one understand what it would have felt like to be a member of the American public during this time. I found this book to be a wonderful discourse on a largely under-discussed aspect of World War II. While reading the book, I couldn¡¦t help ponder about the differences between today¡¦s media and that of yesteryear. The power of the press was never more important than during that time, as Dr. Kupfer clearly shows how the news media played a crucial forming public sentiment. I strongly recommend this book to anyone interested in the media and/or World War 2 as it provides one a startling fresh take on well known historic events. I greatly look forward to reading other books by Charles Kupfer.
