Description
In one year as a journalist, Webb Miller covered 33 murders and three hangings in Chicago, was kidnapped by an American tycoon and covered the Western Front. Later he befriended Mussolini, interviewed Hitler, rode a Zeppelin across the Atlantic and accompanied Gandhi on the Great Salt March. First published in 1935, I Found No Peace is a forgotten classic, written with great poignancy and elan. Part history, part memoir, this is one of the most evocative and close-to-the-action accounts ever written about the modern world's defining era.
