The Soldier's Friend: A Life of Ernie Pyle

To the millions of Americans on the home front during World War II, Ernie Pyleâ€™s columns in newspapers across the country offered a foxhole view of the struggle as he reported on the life and death of the average soldier. When he died, Pyleâ€™s popularity and readership was worldwide, with his column appearing in 400 daily and 300 weekly newspapers.
Written by award-winning author and historian Ray E. Boomhower, The Soldierâ€™s Friend: A Life of Ernie Pyle, a biography aimed at young readers, explores the reporterâ€™s legendary career from his days growing up in the small town of Dana, Indiana, to his life as a roving correspondent with the Scripps-Howard newspaper chain, to his growing fame as a columnist detailing the rigors of combat faced by the average G.I. during World War II. The book also features numerous illustrations, samples of Pyleâ€™s World War II columns, a detailed bibliography of World War II sources, and an index.
