Drawn from original newspaper & magazine reports, radio transcripts, & wartime books, "Reporting World War II" captures the intensity of the war's unfolding drama as recorded by the best of a remarkable generation of journalists, whose talents, sense of purpose, & physical courage remain unsurpassed in the annals of war reporting. Here in one collection, more than 80 writers, famous & forgotten alike, confront the crucial events of those years in writing of exceptional skill & emotional force. The first volume traces the buildup to war & the first years of fighting: the Munich crisis, Kristallnacht, the fall of Poland & France, Pearl Harbor & Bataan, Guadalcanal & Salerno. William L. Shirer, Sigrid Schulz, & Howard K. Smith observe Nazi Germany from the inside; Edward R. Murrow & Ernie Pyle report from London during the Blitz; A.J. Liebling chronicles the Tunisian campaign; Margaret Bourke-White casts her eye on the Russian & Italian fronts. In a time when public perceptions were shaped mainly by the written word, correspondents like these were often as influential as politicians & as celebrated as movie stars. Writers who covered the home front are included as well: E.B. White at a bond rally in Maine, Brendan Gill on gas rationing, James Agee's caustic reviews of Hollywood war movies. And so are the famous literary figures who covered the war: Gertrude Stein in occupied France, John Steinbeck on a troopship bound for Italy. Here too are writers on aspects of the war still often neglected: George S. Schuyler & other African-American journalists attacking racism & segregation in the armed forces; Mary Heaton Vorse on the women working in the defense industries; a firsthand account of the internment of Japanese-Americans. This volume contains a detailed chronology of the war, historical maps, biographical profiles of the journalists, explanatory notes, a glossary of military terms, & an index. Also included are thirty-two pages of photographs of the correspondents, many from private collections & never seen before. A companion volume covers 1944-1946. * The LIBRARY OF AMERICA is an award-winning, nonprofit program dedicated to publishing America's best & most significant writing in handsome, enduring volumes, featuring authoritative texts. Hailed as "the most important book-publishing project in the nation's history" (Newsweek), this acclaimed series is restoring America's literary heritage in "the finest-looking, longest-lasting edition ever made" (New Republic).

This guide is the first of its kind, and presents the U.S. Constitution as never before, including a clause-by-clause analysis of the document, each amendment and relevant court case, and the documents that serve as the foundation of the Constitution. Includes sections of Contributors; The Meaning of the Constitution by Edwin Meese III; The Formation of the Constitution by Matthew Spalding; The Originalist Perspective by David F. Forte; the text of The Constitution; The Heritage Guide to the Constitution (Preamble, Articles I to VII, and Amendments); Appendix A: Table of Cases; Appendix B: Recommended Reading; About the Editors; and Index. Edwin Meese III, Chairman of the Editorial Advisory Board, served as the 75th Attorney General of the United States. Meese holds a law degree from the University of California at Berkeley. He held the Ronald Reagan Chair in Public Policy at The Heritage Foundation. Matthew Spalding is the Vice President for American Studies and Director of the B. Kenneth Simon Center for Principles and Politics. Spalding holds a Ph.D. from The Claremont Graduate School. An Adjunct Fellow of the Claremont Institute, he is co-author of A Sacred Union of Citizens: Washington's Farewell Address and the American Character. David F. Forte is the Charles R. Emrick, Jr.-Calfee Halter & Griswold Professor of Law at Cleveland State University. Forte holds a law degree from Columbia University. A former Chief Counsel to the United States Delegation to the United Nations. The Heritage Guide to the Constitution is intended to provide a brief and accurate explanation of each clause of the Constitution as envisioned by the Framers and as applied in contemporary law. Its particular aim is to provide lawmakers with a means to defend their role and to fulfill their responsibilities in our constitutional order. Yet while the Guide will provide a reliable reference for lawmakers and policy-makers, and be especially useful for the trained jurist, it is written to be explanatory and educational, accessible and helpful for informed citizens and students of the Constitution generally. To create such a unique line-by-line analysis of our supreme law, we set about finding an expert to write on each clause identified in the Constitution, from the Preamble to the Twenty-seventh Amendment. Each contributor was asked to write a brief essay on a particular clause, with two objectives. First, provide a description of the original understanding of the clause, as far as it can be determined. If within the standard of original understanding there are credible and differing interpretations, they were to be noted and explained. (The concept of "originalism" is discussed in the introductory essay, "The Originalist Perspective.") Second, the article was to provide an explanation of the current state of the law regarding the clause and, where appropriate, to give brief explanations of the historical development of current doctrine. At the end of each essay, the authors have added cross-references to other clauses in the Constitution, suggestions for further research, and a listing of significant cases concerning that clause. (A complete index of cases referenced throughout the Guide is provided in Appendix A.) In addition to the text of the Constitution itself, and as reflected by extensive references throughout the Guide, we have taken three widely recognized sources to be especially authoritative in this project. First, The Records of the Federal Convention of 1787, the definitive collection of the records and debates of the Constitutional Convention, written by participants of the Convention, including in particular the extensive notes taken by James Madison. Second, The Federalist Papers, the great series of essays written by Alexander Hamilton, John Jay, and James Madison in 1787 and 1788 to defend the Constitution during the debates over the document's r.
