"A favorite shelf in my bookcase leads with
By-Line: Ernest Hemingway
, a compendium of journalism the great novelist wrote to support himself as he worked on his fiction. Right next to it is
Ernie's War
, dispatches by Ernie Pyle, the most famous of World War II correspondents. Milton Nieuwsma's fine volume joins this shelf of honor." -From the foreword by Tom Stites, two-time Pulitzer Prize-winning editor/journalist
"Compassion and humility radiate from Milt's pen. I followed him to Auschwitz twenty-five years after he wrote his evocative account of the 50
th
anniversary of the camp's liberation. His exhortation to listen to the stories of the survivors is a sample of his great writing: 'To turn away is to kill them a second time. But to listen is to confront the monster that lurks in the human soul.' A must read."
-Malcolm Brabant, correspondent, PBS NewsHour; author,
The Daughter of Auschwitz
Before he turned to writing for public television, Milton Nieuwsma traveled the world covering stories for the
Chicago Tribune
and other major newspapers. This book is a compendium of 21 of his best pieces-20 from the earth and one from hell. He takes you to the Arctic and the Antarctic; to the Amazon and the Nile; to Auschwitz, the scene of humanity's greatest crime, and to a rural Mississippi courtroom where the acquittal of Emmett Till's killers sparked the civil rights movement. "Milt Nieuwsma is a master of his craft," writes Tom Stites. "Its value still leaps out of the page at the reader."
