Paperback. Condición: Very Good. One of the most prolific authors in the history of history's most widely read magazine, The Reader's Digest, award winning Roving Editor John G. Hubbell, recalls the adventures and thrills of four exciting decades of writing for an immense worldwide audience. One of the greatest thrills, he says, was hearing the founding Editor-in-Chief, the legendary DeWitt Wallace, instruct him on the day he brought him aboard to go wherever he had to go to find the information he needed for a story; if you have to go to Timbuktu to get a paragraph to make a story right, you don't have to ask anyone's permission. Just be sure that when you bring in a story that it is definitive, that it contains everything that is worth knowing about the subject. Armed with that charge, Hubbell takes his reader where no reporter had gone before: *Through the Strategic Air Command's survival training program in the Sierra Nevada Mountains. *Through the training tank at the U.S. Navy's Submarine Training School, a ten-story-high silo filled with a quarter million gallons of water in which hopeful undersea warriors must prove they are not claustrophobic, and learn how to avoid a lung-destroying pulmonary embolism while escaping a downed boat. *On a realistic orbital flight around the world on NASA's fantastic space flight simulator. *On an exciting ride on the Navy's first nuclear-powered attack submarine. *To the discovery of a newly developing U.S. Army group called Special Forces, which the world will soon come to know as The Green Berets. *To the discovery of an until-then supersecret six-year-old Navy group called SEALs. *Through an objectively detailed investigation of the Kennedy Administration's behavior during the Cuban Missile Crisis. *To southeastern Spain to find the facts when the U.S. loses a hydrogen bomb. *To the facts about the Johnson Administration's conduct of the Vietnam War. *To the facts about the alleged peace that has obtained in Korea since the end of the Korean War, and about the North Korean seizure of the U.S.S. Pueblo and the Court of Inquiry that followed. *To the details of the American Prisoner of War Experience in Vietnam, in a work that the Washington Post characterized as the standard book on the subject. If you were one of the millions who enjoyed DeWitt Wallace's Reader's Digest, you'll love Writing for Wally.…
