Now back in print after thirty years, with more than half of the book new material, Hohenberg emphasizes the American experience, particularly the recent role of television and daily newspaper correspondents in Vietnam, the Gulf War, and the post-Cold War crises. Also new to this edition is his examination of the role of the foreign correspondent in the future and the impact of new media technologies on this profession.
