SLANTING LINES OF STEEL

by E. Alexander Powell ‧ RELEASE DATE: Oct. 11, 1933

Adventures of a war correspondent which make most such records sound like Sunday School picnics. First as unofficial correspondent for the New York World, Powell went to the front in Belgium, wrote his reports under fire, stayed through the siege of Antwerp, saw the German army from the German side -- by invitation -- was on the French front, the British front, the Italian front. After America went into the war, he found official red tape and special assignments in connection with recruiting, selling Liberty Bonds, and even doing intelligence service work, very tame, and was not satisfield until he had been sent overseas again for the balance of the war on the American front. Good journalism -- good human interest document -- good reading.
