Pacific Microphone

WILLIAM J. DUNN served as an editor at CBS News, during World War II. After the war, he stayed in the Philippines to help reorganize the Manila Broadcasting Company. In 1959 he moved to Europe as a freelancer; while there he wrote half a dozen books on travel and food.

"Bill Dunn has some unexpected and fascinating memories of MacArthur that add to our collective historical knowledge. This is... a first-rate description of how the news was carried from the warfront to the civilian rear, and an altogether inspiring memoir of what it was like out there in the bloody, traumatic Pacific war." - from the foreword by Mike Wallace, CBS News/60 Minutes "So far as I know there has never been such a chronicling by a newsman of equal qualifications.." - Douglas Edwards, CBS News "An engagingly anecdotal war memoir... that affords insights as well as intelligence." - Kirkus Reviews"
