From Baird Maritime
There are not many biographies of journalists and fewer still of specialist military journalists. That much of today's journalism is more entertainment than reporting is largely, no doubt, the reason.
Baldwin was a far cry from most of today's opinionated, "agnorant" (a combination of ignorant and arrogant) plagiarists. He was pre-Google and thoroughly professional. He was balanced, perceptive and long-lived.
From a newspaper family, he was a Naval Academy graduate – the first to earn a Pulitzer Prize – whose journalistic career lasted forty years. His scoops were important and his writings unusually influential, hence this fascinating biography.
A most interesting topic that has been treated very well by an appropriately fastidious author.
