"For anyone even remotely interested in American literature and journalism, Not So Wild a Dream is a must-read, and a joy."– Dan Rather In this captivating first-person account, Eric Sevareid describes in thrilling detail his time as a journalist covering international affairs during World War II. From a young man in North Dakota to an instrumental figure in establishing CBS as an international news organization, Sevareid witnessed the shaping of America's journalistic landscape. His experiences provide an invaluable glimpse into the trials and tribulations of a dogged reporter. With current distrust of the press on the rise, Sevareid's insight is poignant and all the more necessary. "The book is an excellent sketch of the war's progress, and a thoughtful personal record of Mr. Sevareid's adventures--one of the most far ranging war correspondent journals yet published."– Library Journal

"SECRET MISSIONS" IS AN EXTRAORDINARY RECORD OF THE TWENTY-FIVE YEAR WAR OF WITS AGAINST THE JAPANESE SECRET SERVICE. This fantastic—and true—story was written by Rear Admiral Ellis M. Zacharias, the man who with one master stroke of psychological warfare broke the Japanese will to resist—before the atom bombing of Hiroshima. Long before World War II, Admiral Zacharias was sent to Japan to study the language and the country. Thrust into the world of SECRET MISSIONS, he gained an intimate knowledge of Japanese Intelligence operations and of the military's plans to steer Japan on a course for war. Admiral Zacharias predicted Pearl Harbor, but inadequate U.S. Intelligence and the blind outlook of some of his superiors allowed the tragedy of December 7, 1941 to occur. SECRET MISSIONS takes you behind the scenes and tells you how vast Japanese spy rings sprung up on our own soil and were smashed; how Japanese codes were broken; and finally, how Admiral Zacharias broke the Japanese will to resist just before the A-bombing of Hiroshima. "An interesting and lively book"—The New Yorker "...a little frightening"—New York Times ...READS LIKE AN ADVENTURE STORY"—Booklist Index
