Book Description
Editorial Reviews
Review
Reviews of Earlier Edition "A nifty idea, imaginatively executed and complete with the original, often hyperventilating, headlines." -- Los Angeles Times Book Review "Academics sometimes say journalism is history in a hurry. Now comes American Datelines, an anthology that suggests history is journalism refocused by hindsight." -- San Francisco Examiner
