Following the Front - The Dispatches of World War II Correspondent Sidney A. Olson

A senior editor at Time, Olson asked to be assigned overseas as a war correspondent, and in mid-December 1944 he sailed for London. Attached to the European Theater of Operations, Olson followed the Allied forces as they pushed the Nazis back into Germany. Following the front meant being on the move constantly; Olson made his way to Paris, flew to Brussels, and then drove to the battlefront in Holland. From that time forward, he never really stopped moving. He would race ahead and circle back, hopping from one military division to the next, gradually making his way across Germany and into Austria. His dispatches illustrate - line by line, battle by battle - the extraordinary Allied effort to defeat Hitler. -- Page [4] of cover.
