The son of Jewish immigrants, war correspondent Cecil Brown (1907-1987) was a member of CBS' esteemed Murrow Boys. Expelled from Italy and Singapore for reporting the facts, he witnessed the Nazi invasion of Yugoslavia and the war in North Africa, and survived the sinking of the British battleship HMS Repulse by a Japanese submarine. Back in the U.S., he became an influential commentator during the years when Americans sought a dispassionate voice to make sense of complex developments. He was one of the first journalists to champion civil rights, to condemn Senator McCarthy's tactics (and President Eisenhower's reticence), and to support Israel's creation. Although he won every major broadcast journalism award, his accomplishments have been largely overlooked by historians. This first biography of Brown chronicles his career in journalism and traces his contributions to the profession.

Sample Book Insights: #1 The British-Algerian man teaching at an elite school in Jeddah on Saudi Arabia’s west coast got a unique job offer. A prince named Salman bin Abdulaziz was coming to town with his wife and children, and they were looking for an English tutor. #2 The Al Saud were a dynasty that had twice failed to create a kingdom in central Arabia before succeeding so phenomenally that the desert-dwellers who had pioneered the idea would have been hard pressed to believe how it ended up. In the mid-1700s, they created the first Saudi proto-state around their home village of Diriyah. #3 The rise of Saudi Arabia’s oil reserves in the 1930s attracted speculators, technicians, oil companies, and Western governments seeking access to the kingdom’s black gold. The Saudis became one of the world’s wealthiest dynasties. #4 Salman was born in 1953, three years after the foundation of Saudi Arabia. He was the governor of Riyadh Province, and his main duty was to receive subjects who needed help. He had many children with his first wife, Sultana bint Turki Al Sudairi.
