Witness to a Century: Encounters With the Noted, the Notorious, and the Three Sobs

＂This extraordinary book . . . is a reminder . . . of the sins of suppression and untruth that have been and can be committed in the name of American journalism . . . One of the last first-person statements from a generation that included Hitler, Nehru, and Mao . . . and Seldes too.＂ --Columbia Journalism Review

George Seldes was one of the great muckraking journalists and the author of twenty books, including Witness to a Century. He began his career as a cub reporter for thePittsburghLeader, rose to international correspondent for the Chicago Tribune, and founded his own newspaper, which was dedicated to the truth. He died at the age of 104 in 1995.
