New York: Alfred A. Knopf, 1946.

Enlisted by Edward R. Murrow as part of C.B.S. News’ elite cadre of correspondents during the Second World War, Eric Sevareid went on to become a renowned T.V. News commentator in his own right working alongside Walter Cronkite. Sevareid’s memoir, Not So Wild a Dream, was written at the tender age of thirty-four and focuses primarily on important moments in the Second World War that he witnessed like the fall of Paris. He was part of a golden age of journalism when the News Channels had integrity and could still still be relied on. The book shows some wear on the dust jacket and book with a neat inscription on the first front endpaper, overall good to very good rating.
